Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)

I draw the attention of the House to a number of Bills that have been enacted during the years, the first of which is the Companies (Amendment) Act 1990 which was introduced by Albert Reynolds on examinership to benefit one individual in particular, namely, Mr. Larry Goodman, and his group of companies. Section 19 of the Finance Act 1994 was introduced by Deputy Bertie Ahern when Minister for Finance and a tax concession to one individual, Mr. Ken Rohan, in relation to his art collection. The Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2007 was introduced by the Taoiseach, Deputy Cowen. Again, it was introduced following lobbying by one individual, namely, Frank Fahey.
