Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister, Deputy Noonan, is more than capable of running his Department and dealing with the matters for which he has responsibility. The Minister informed us about the negotiations on IBRC in so far as the promissory notes were concerned. Deputy Adams stood up in this House, week after week and month after month, to ask the Government whether we were going to borrow €3 billion every March to pay for the interest on Anglo Irish Bank. The Minister rightly informed his Cabinet colleagues about the promissory notes, through which the Government secured savings of over €20 billion in the coming years. He is well able to deal with the issues arising within his Department. He informed the Cabinet of the discussions in regard to IBRC.
