Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Minister of State, Deputy Lynch, may not understand the rules of the House and perhaps what I am saying about the Government is a bit uncomfortable in regard to Anglo debt. Can the Minister of State remember what it was she sanctioned and supported when the Government came into office three years ago? I will remind her. One of the Government's first actions was to issue a cheque to Anglo Irish Bank to the value of €3.1 billion.

Can I tell the Minister of State about another thing the Government did? It injected €21 billion of the people's money into AIB and Bank of Ireland.
