Fianna Fáil has forced the Green Party to adopt its economic strategy of cutting wages and writing blank cheques for banks. I understand that the Government proposes to invest up to €6 billion of taxpayers' money in the dead bank that is Anglo Irish Bank to pay off bond speculators and investors. There is an alternative. The Government can put that money into a stimulus package or it can break up Anglo Irish Bank into a good bank-bad bank, a concept put forward by Fine Gael more than 12 months ago.

Pay the €64 million in deposits.

This would save the taxpayer serious money and would allow credit to flow to businesses——

Ask the taxpayer to put in the €64 million.

——in County Meath and elsewhere where jobs as being lost even as we speak.

What about roads?

The Fine Gael Party has put forward a serious policy framework for job creation and security and new careers. The Taoiseach will not recognise this because he is locked into the tribal strait jacket of Fianna Fáil.

Hear, hear.

From where did Deputy Kenny get that line?

Is the Government prepared to break up Anglo Irish Bank, save the taxpayer money and provide a bad bank-good bank, the concept put forward by Fine Gael more than 12 months ago?

Come out with your hands up.

It is never too late to clear the plate.

I call the Taoiseach.

The extraordinary basis for Fine Gael's economic policy is that its wishes, primarily, to raise bonds to fund all of these jobs of which Deputy Kenny speaks while at the same time default on bond holders. That is its idea of how one raises bonds. Fine Gael has as much understanding of——

Answer the question.

Deputy Creed, please allow the Taoiseach to continue without interruption.

On the whole question of the establishment of NAMA and it becoming operational, the purpose of this is to ensure we have access to funding and that we can reduce the cost of funding——

When?

——to banks so that they can provide funds to the wider economy.

They are not doing it.

The Taoiseach, without interruption please.

The Fine Gael Party has not supported——

Never mind Fine Gael, talk about Fianna Fáil.

——one tough decision taken by this Government in the past 12 months.

They are opposed to everything.

I call Deputy Gilmore.

Deputy Gilmore without interruption please.

The Government got its answer.

What about the Minister for Transport, Deputy Dempsey, and the roads?
