Tá dhá cheist agam. Maidir leis an céad cheann, I refer to the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Amendment) Act 2011. Nobody is sorry to see Anglo Irish Bank imithe and not many were present for its sochraid or funeral. However, two issues arise, the first of which is a human issue. Some of the workers at Anglo Irish Bank visited the House twice in the past two weeks and related traumatic stories about how they are being abused. There are 140 staff and the receiver-----

Is legislation promised on this issue?

Yes, only cúpla seachtaine ó shin we passed legislation on this issue in the middle of the night. There is a human story in this. We spoke about fairness this morning agus gach rud mar sin. The staff of Anglo Irish Bank must be treated fairly. They have given sterling service and, as such, they are entitled to be respected. They are now helping the receiver to recoup what he can for taxpayers. Surely they are entitled to some dignity, respect and appreciation for what they did? We also have na daoine eile, the significant number of people who have instigated proceedings against Anglo Irish Bank, as they are entitled to do. I am not referring to Sean Quinn but other cases before the courts. What kind of democracy allows us, with a stroke of a pen, to banish legal cases that are costing a great deal of money from the courts? We cannot do this at the stroke of a pen. I put this ceist to the Taoiseach and an tAire Airgeadais, Deputy Michael Noonan, ar an oiche sin when I approached the former and asked him about individuals whose court cases were being dismissed, put on hold or forgotten. They are also citizens who should be protected by the Constitution, as should the workers in Anglo Irish Bank.

Tá a fhios ag an Teach go bhfuil IBRC imithe agus gur cuireadh isteach bainisteoir speisialta. Tá conradh sealadach tugtha ag an bhainisteoir speisialta do na daoine a bhí ag obair le IBRC agus tá súil agam, agus de réir an bhainisteora speisialta, tar éis am cuí beidh an cuid is mó dóibh siúd a bhí ag obair le Anglo Irish Bank agus IBRC in ann obair nua a fháíl sa chóras nua. Maidir leis na daoine a bheidh ag obair i NAMA, is daoine speisialta iad agus tá siad ag obair ar chúrsaí speisialta airgeadais. Mar adúirt an Teachta, maidir leis an méid nach bhfaigheann obair leis an gcóras nua nó seans obair a fháil ar chúrsaí NAMA, tá súil agam go gcuirfear córas sásúil ar bun dóibh.

The workers have been told they cannot work for Allied Irish Banks. They are being denied the right to work elsewhere.

Tuigeann an Teachta gur tharla an t-athrú seo iontach tobann agus bhí brú ar an Rialtas an bainisteoir speisialta a chur isteach láithreach. Tá súil agam go mbeidh sé in ann déileáil le imní na ndaoine a bhí ag obair i IBRC agus atá ag obair i NAMA faoi láthair.
