EU-IMF Programme for Ireland and National Recovery Plan 2011-14: Statements (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)

Billy Timmins: It is ironic that banks were given money but they were not regulated by the Government or the people who provided the money.

Local Government (Mayor and Regional Authority of Dublin) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Dec 2010)
