It is an important petition. I am not referring to the individual petition in this regard but in general. A large section of Irish society is having remarkable difficulty financially and they are having difficulty seeing a way out of these problems. Many of them believe that they are not achieving justice with regard to their circumstances and how they relate to the financial system here. Transparency is important for a properly functioning democracy. We need to ensure that, where possible, individuals have a right to as much transparency into and oversight of their financial experience as possible. I agree thoroughly with the recommendations made thus far.
