Ivan Yates

Ceist:

87 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Finance if it is still the Government's intention to establish a third banking force, as outlined in the Programme for Partnership Government 1993-1997; and if he will give the outcome of his Department's studies into this matter to date.

Minister for Finance (Mr. B. Ahern)

My Department has comprehensively examined the options open to the Government to give effect to the commitment in the Programme for Government. It would be premature to present the results of this examination until the Government has considered the matter.
