Leaders' Questions (Resumed)

If it is revenue neutral and if it will not cost the Exchequer anything then obviously it does not require a money message but I will need more than the afternoon to examine the Deputy's numbers and determine whether his claim is true that it will not cost the Exchequer anything. The Deputy has form in this regard. He was, of course, a Minister in the Government that promised us the cheapest bank bailout in the world and we saw how much that ended up costing. Having been €30 billion out before, it will take more than the afternoon for us to see whether the Deputy's arithmetic has improved in the past decade and whether it stacks up.
