Banks or business?

WE have always been told the billions of our children’s and grandchildren’s money that was given to the parasitic banks was to assist our recovery.

Few of us believed that and now I read that the Department of Enterprise is in fact cutting funding to a range of productive companies that need a bit of assistance actually to help our recovery.

The fund has been cut by a piffling €22m, as against the €50bn handed out so casually to the banks. Perhaps the Taoiseach would like to comment on this?

Either it is not true or everything he and Brian Lenihan have told us about the bank bailout is a lie.

Must be one or the other, Taoiseach. Let’s hear it.
