Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have answered that question. There was a misunderstanding in the votes today and the matter is now in dispute. There are discussions taking place with the Ceann Comhairle's office and we will await the outcome. I remind the House that it already committed to and voted on the programme for Government which includes a commitment to sell up to 25% of the shares in AIB. That is the position. Deputy Pearse Doherty will not agree with me and I will not agree with him. Indecon will bring forward a report by the end of August and we will then see what is the position.
