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

The Minister's response contained no logic in regard to not allowing an inclusion in the legislation to the effect that the State would apply for retroactive recapitalisation of the moneys invested by the previous and current Government into the banks. These moneys amount to €14,222 per man, woman and child. Many people feel the Government has given up the ghost in regard to these moneys. Therefore, I wish to press amendment No. 1, the only amendment on Report Stage, on behalf of Sinn Féin.
