Mark Daly (Fianna Fail)

I agree with Senator Harris's description of Christopher Nolan as a true hero, a man who, despite his illness, managed to rise above it and produce great works of literature. One of the backers of Libertas, Mr. McEvaddy, described the ten people who got a free bet at the expense of the taxpayer as heroes. I suggest that he get a new dictionary because the current description of "hero" in his dictionary seems to be in error.

I also agree with the Minister, Deputy Noel Dempsey, who described those who rode roughshod over law and order in this country when it came to the banking system as being guilty of economic treason. I welcome the fact the Garda has gone through the files at Anglo Irish Bank. I hope criminal prosecutions will follow and those who are guilty of economic treason will see the inside of Mountjoy Prison.
