Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

I am assured it is not a difficulty. I made that clear yesterday and I do so again today. I know Senators are trying to be helpful as are many media commentators. However, it is not helpful to continue to suggest, nationally, that there is any scintilla of doubt over the ability of a major State company with substantial lenders, such as Aer Rianta, to repay and live up to its commitments. Aer Rianta and the new companies are fully capable of living up to the letter of the bond holders' requirements. That is my information. I do not believe I can go much further beyond wheeling the bankers into the Seanad this morning.
