I feel like crying having listened to Senator Mooney. The reality is that the rottenness of the loan books of the banks illustrates the poor regulation aided by poor Government policy. If there are green shoots of recovery and everything is turning around, the Minister of State gave no examples in his speech, which I read. I join other Senators in saying that it is a bit disingenuous of him to discuss ethics and morality when those of the higher level of the banking profession have been lost. We found them in the tent at the Galway races. Mr. Fingleton was a guest of Fianna Fáil's Galway tent. What was he doing in there?
