I want to see this Government carrying out an inquiry and having it done by a competent authority. It surprises me that the Deputy suggested there is no basis in any business transaction for any level of commercial sensitivity. Anyone who has worked in business or even run a sweet shop for an afternoon would know there is commercial sensitivity but in the case of the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, when civil servants in his Department raised issues, and if we want to be fair to him, he used the relationship framework. What was the relationship framework? The relationship framework was designed by Fianna Fáil and put in place by the late Brian Lenihan.
