The former boss of the ailing Irish Nationwide Building Society is demanding an apology for being called a "gangster" during a Dáil debate.

It has emerged that Michael Fingleton wrote to the Ceann Comhairle saying Fine Gael TD Paul Kehoe's remarks were outrageous, reckless and misinformed.

During a debate on the NAMA legislation in October, the Wexford deputy referred to Mr. Fingleton and former Anglo chief executive Seán Fitzpatrick as "two of the biggest gangsters ever involved in banking".
