I would also like the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, to come before the House to discuss a disgraceful article he wrote in which he suggests that we should have a school in the inner city only for the children of international bankers. I could not believe what I was reading, that a Fine Gael Minister of State would suggest widening the huge deprivation and inequality already present in the area and make it even more observable than it already is. It is hard enough for children growing up around there to look at an IFSC and know they will never be employed there, work there or be part of it without a Minister of State suggesting the placing of a school there that would segregate any people coming to live or work here from abroad from the ordinary citizens of the north inner city.
