Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I move amendment No. 2.

In page 5, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:

"(a) to establish transparent criteria for the disbursement of funds under the Dormant Accounts Acts 2001 to 2004,".

The Minister of State, who was mercifully spared the ignominy of having to defend the indefensible on a second occasion today, in his Second Stage speech, which I was spared the frustration of having to listen to, made a quaint but telling comment when he said: "we must be careful about using correctly taxpayers' money". This is what the Government thinks.
