I will press on and finish as quickly as I can. I would like to see a debate in this House on the matter of a senior official in the Department of Finance, who is now the Secretary General of that Department, making himself and the Department's resources available to property speculators - the twins from London - to secure part of a portfolio that the Irish people effectively own.

That is a story.

Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

My question is whether we will have a debate on this issue. It is important that I set out the context.

The Senator can do that during the debate.

The reality is that if one is the Secretary General of a Department or the Barclay twins, one has a direct line to the Department of Finance to get one's business done, but the people of Ireland can get nothing.

The Senator is way over time.

Today, for example, Bord Gáis is giving a dividend to the State which is €10 million less than it gave last year.

The Senator is way over time. I call Senator Paul Coghlan.

What is the Government going to do to redistribute that money to the people throughout this country who, at the end of this month will have no more fuel allowances?

The Senator is completely out of order.

The answer is "Nothing". However, the Barclay twins can ring the Secretary General of the Department of Finance and he will look after everything for them.
