Taoiseach's nominees to the Seanad criticise bondholder payments

Three of the Taoiseach's nominees to the Seanad have today criticised the Government's decision to repay unguaranteed bondholders at the former Anglo Irish Bank.

Senators Katherine Zappone, Fiach MacConghaill and Jillian Van Turnhout say the Government's call to pay out more than €700m was made with undue haste.
