Announcement by Minister for Finance on Banking of 30 September 2010: Statements (Resumed) (30 Sep 2010)

Simon Coveney: I am glad that we have an opportunity to speak in this debate and that an extension of time was granted earlier.

The Minister said today that his...

Census 2011 (5 Oct 2010)

Simon Coveney: I wish to save time a Cheann Comhairle. I am sure the Minister of State can deal with two questions together.
