Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Apr 2010)

Terry Leyden: Will the Leader arrange an early discussion about the current banking situation? My point does not arise out of the comments made by Senators Harris and Buttimer because I had decided to make this point anyway. It is inappropriate for a public interest director to become chairman of Anglo Irish Bank. Alan Dukes should decide to consider his position now. I will write to the Minister today...

Seanad: Order of Business. (22 Apr 2010)

Terry Leyden: The same goes for the public interest directors in Permanent TSB. Gillian Bowler should stand down as chairperson of the board. She stood over €7.4 billion going.

I thank my colleague Senator Marc MacSharry for his kind comments on my campaign for the solidarity bond, which is very worthwhile. I have stated before that we should all contribute to this bond as far as possible. If I had shares in Goldman Sachs I would take them out and put them into the bond. It would be more...
