Kieran O'Donnell: It is extraordinary that we have invested heavily in the banks and there are effectively dormant accounts by a different name within the vaults of those banks. I would have thought the Department could request or encourage the banks to undertake due diligence of such vaults. If there is nothing therein of substance, so be it, but if assets are found that could be used for the public good...

Kieran O'Donnell: Senator Leyden may be leaving the Chamber at this minute but I must say that he is eminently qualified to be appointed as curator of all of the artefacts that are in the vaults of the banks.

When did the application for the derogation come in, that there would be...
