Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I believe I heard the Taoiseach say the taxpayers were going to get their money back. They are saddled with €64 billion for generations as a result of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil policies. Many people were angry at the Taoiseach's mantra that we must keep the recovery going. They asked, "What recovery?". It is only now that I see what he meant and how stupid we all were. It is only now that I see how the Taoiseach kept to that commitment.

The recovery about which the Taoiseach spoke was not for working people, the elderly, hospital patients, the homeless, emigrants, those in mortgage arrears or people with disabilities. His recovery was for the bankers and he has kept to that commitment. The cap on bankers' pay will be gone when AIB is sold. Only yesterday Bank of Ireland was caught breaching money laundering regulations.
