Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We will. Continuing questions arise daily about banking and bankers. While I acknowledge that requests have been made for a debate on banking, I repeat those calls because there must be confidence in the regulatory system and, clearly, there is not. I note the comments made yesterday by Mr. Appleby, who had long experience of dealing with those institutions and the people who populate them, as well as by Mr. Elderfield, and Members must take them on board. In addition, the Oireachtas must deal with the inquiry on this matter that is hanging around, as it were. I know it will not be possible to do this next week but I repeat that call, which has come from many Members on both sides of the House, for a debate on banking early during the new session next year.
