Order of Business (4 May 2011)

Enda Kenny: ...vote on the matter. It is not true to say the memorandum of understanding has not been altered. It has been altered in so far as the Deputy rightly refers to the minimum wage.

Anglo Irish Bank has cost the taxpayer €35 billion, with a total recapitalisation of €60 billion not including the cost of NAMA.

Enda Kenny: ...from the Department of Finance or the Central Bank withdrawing a licence?
