I wish to seek a debate on accountability and responsibility. Yesterday, the taxpayer was once again asked to foot the bill for the failed policies of the Fianna Fáil Party in government. What was the Financial Regulator doing? What was his terms of reference? Was he doing his job? What were the Taoiseach and the Minister for Finance doing?

I disagree with the point made by Senator O'Toole. The citizens have a millstone around their neck. Senator Boyle may well laugh and smirk, but what upsets me more than anything else-----
