I have two matters. There is a sense of urgency about the children (amendment) Bill in relation to the commitment given on St. Patrick's Institution.

On the moves being made by the Tánaiste's colleague, Deputy Noonan, to spend €35 million or €40 million on various stock market consultants in flogging off a large portion of AIB and EBS, will the House have an opportunity to discuss that proposal or is it something that will come forward in the Finance Bill? Is it the settled policy of the Tánaiste's party that we should sell this State asset, which cost the people in excess of €20 billion and which devastates the budget?
