Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

I will do my very best to have the Minister for Finance, Deputy Brian Lenihan, present for the start of the debate, if his diary can facilitate it. I take the point expressed by Senator Ross, but in fairness to the Minister, he took Committee and Report Stages of the banking Bill in the House and I have always found him to be very supportive of Seanad Éireann.
