- Seanad: Order of Business (15 Dec 2010)
Fidelma Healy Eames: What did these officials in the Department of Finance do to deserve these bonuses?

Fidelma Healy Eames: I welcome the Minister of State and thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for allowing me to raise this matter.

Fidelma Healy Eames: We have spoken today about bankers and their bonuses, and we have learnt that the sham culture of banking still exists. Senator Ross is right to ask what the Minister for Finance has done about the attitude that exists in the banks. What has gone on is an outrage.
