Bank of Ireland's share price, which went as low as 55 cent, has increased to almost €1.50. I admit there has been a substantial increase in paper profit. I have examined the IMF report and read all of the important priorities dealt with in it. We are dealing with those priorities in a professional manner, as we should. It is important to have the support of people on the other side of the House. They have been supportive.

Fine Gael has been much more supportive than the Labour Party as regards what we have been doing about the banking system in terms of ensuring that it works efficiently and for the economy.
