Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach's assertions about the constructiveness of the discussions and so on are very reassuring and I thank him for that. I note, however, that the Cabinet did not even discuss the issue today, which shows how constructive and serious it is about the matter. What we learned from the media again - it was not their fault as that is their job - was the news that the long-awaited banking inquiry is being set up without reference to the Oireachtas.
