Dara Calleary: The vulture funds are not regulated by the Central Bank. They are untouchable by the Central Bank. The Tánaiste knows it as does every Deputy here.

Project Ireland 2040: Statements (20 Feb 2018)

Dara Calleary: Deputy Cowen has dealt with the planning framework. I intend to focus my remarks on the so-called national development plan, NDP.
