I congratulate the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, on decisions taken at yesterday's ECOFIN meeting on bank resolution measures, banking union, security of deposits and so forth.

I understand the nature of politicians as much as anyone else does. In that context, I refer to serious allegations made about the National Asset Management Agency. Nothing has been proven and much of what has been alleged may be unfounded. We are not judges. The Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation, which is independent of Parliament, is involved in this matter, which is also one for the Director of Public Prosecutions. Senators should not say anything.
