Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am asking the Leader. I propose an amendment, that No. 2 be taken with debate, that time be allowed today in order that we can tease these things out and in order that I do not have to read about it in the newspapers or hear about it on the radio. This is still a House of the Oireachtas, regardless of what the Government wishes to do. What is ironic about the banking inquiry and what the Government is looking to set up is that it proves and will prove, probably, that there were not enough checks and balances in our regulators. This is the same Government that wishes to remove checks and balances in the Oireachtas.
