That might sound like a correct political line but people do not want to hear political jargon. They want to hear that their bank manager will now give them the money they require, whether for a small purchase or to meet a bill that they are not currently able to manage. It does not matter whether it involves the individual or a small or medium-sized business.

The Minister is a good friend of mine and I have said this to him previously. If there is one criticism I have of him, it is the extent to which he has accommodated debate on the NAMA issue.
