TODAY, TAOISEACH MICHEÁL Martin said that the money provided by the Government to Irish banks in September 2008 was not a bailout.
In a debate with Solidarity-People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd-Barrett focused on the current situation for Debenhams workers, the Fianna Fáil leader said that the Irish government received shares in return for providing the banks with capital, suggesting that covering the banks in this way was an investment instead.
Is he right?

In the clever corner, we have pay rises for public-service fat cats versus puppy dogs, baby seals and the student nurses.
And in the slow corner, we have a dull old piece of legislation and Micheál Martin.
You don’t have to be a political genius to work out which side is more likely to come out best in this Dáil bout.
Hit me now Micheál, with Florence Nightingale in me arms!
