Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I am not allowed mention the name of the person who set up the International Financial Services Centre because he is not acceptable. The IFSC is one of a number of very enlightened ideas that Mr. Haughey had while Taoiseach. Regardless of other matters, he deserves credit for a considerable amount of vision in this regard. He received much mockery about the IFSC from places not far from where I sit. However, he has been more than vindicated in respect of that decision. These issues would not matter as much to us nor we would have such possibilities without the IFSC.
