I raise the issue of the Anglo Irish Bank tapes and the need for banking executives to be brought to justice. I am conscious that we must be careful with what we say because criminal investigations may be pursued, but the people of Ireland want people to be brought to justice. They want the people who were responsible for the collapse not only of the banking sector but also of the economy to be brought to justice. Senator Leyden stated that the country's image had been tarnished by the leaking of these tapes. The image of the country was tarnished by the rotten relationship that existed between developers, bankers and certain politicians.
