I propose a template for resolving the political impasse and for providing a more inclusive, democratic government.

Four TDs — Clare Daly, Luke Flanagan, Mick Wallace, and Joan Collins — want to be joined to businessman David Hall’s legal challenge to the Government’s payment of promissory notes issued in favour of the former Anglo Irish Bank and other financial institutions.

Three TDs turned up in the High Court yesterday to support a man’s challenge to the State paying promissory notes for over €31bn in aid of Irish financial institutions.

Promissory notes amounting to over €31bn in financial support for financial institutions, including the former Anglo Irish Bank, were flawed, and payment on them cannot now be made, it has been claimed.

A FORMER head of finance with National Irish Bank is opposing an application by the director of corporate enforcement for a court order disqualifying him from involvement in the management of any company on unfitness grounds.
