I will not need that long. The most interesting line of the Minister's speech was at the beginning, when he said Bank of Ireland, AIB and Bord Gáis had all raised funds. I nearly fell off my chair. He did not say what funds, how much the funds were, where they were or how we could get access to them. Perhaps the Minister of State will be able to inform me because I would like to find out what funds he was talking about at AIB and Bank of Ireland. Maybe it was the ¤3.7 billion we gave the banks.
