The Finance Minister says no-one in his department will face disciplinary action for not telling him about a controversial deposit of €7 billion in Anglo Irish Bank.
It's emerged that the department informed the financial regulator of the deposit from Irish Life and Permanent when it was revealed in a report last October, but did not tell Brian Lenihan.
The Minister admitted in the Dail that he hadn't read the report into activities at Anglo Irish Bank in full - sparking opposition demands for his resignation - which he's rejected.
But speaking to Newstalk's Breakfast Show, Brian Lenihan says at the time, this transaction wasn't out of the ordinary, and he has complete faith in how the issue has been handled.

Firstly, Im hoping this is the correct forum?
I listened to Brian Lenihan say that he had not read the full Anglo report.
It was 750 pages of which he read as far as I recall 50.
The 7bn issue would have been read by him if he had read the 120 pages relating to this issue
Do you think he should have at least read the 120 pages?
Do you think he should resign?
