Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

The big question, which I only heard from one Senator, concerns what the Government and banks are doing to keep funds going for small and medium enterprises. The credit line is urgently needed. This is the first sitting day of the new year. We broke a record last year by sitting for 100 days. This is the Upper House and I want to hear meaningful and positive discussion. We must stop this head-hunting. Let us help the Government and assist the Irish nation. There is a lot of bluster going on here for almost two hours.
