Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I share Senator O'Toole's dislike of having the phrase in the legislation but I never sit here as a lawyer. I sit here as a Minister and take the legal advice I am given in a matter like this. I welcome the fact the amendment was tabled and discussed because it gave me, as Minister, an opportunity to outline that this was not the policy in regard to Anglo Irish Bank.
