Order of Business (14 May 2009)

Richard Bruton: On behalf of Fine Gael I join in the note of congratulation. I cannot remember many people getting a standing ovation from all sides of the House and even from the bull pen. One has to be something special to get that. Mick's is a testimony to the triumph of hope over expectation. He continues to loyally support the Lily Whites despite their continual disappointments which shows his great...

Order of Business (14 May 2009)

Richard Bruton: Discord need not necessarily break out straight away. I wish to ask about some legislation.

Banking System: Motion (Resumed) (13 May 2009)

Richard Bruton: I welcome the opportunity to debate this issue. It is unfortunate that on a matter of such enormous importance as the establishment of an asset management agency which will manage €90 billion of taxpayers' money, the Government has sponsored no debate.
