Senator Byrne can do whatever he wants but I am speaking as the Chairman. I wish the bank success in finding sustainable, long-term solutions to people trying to meet their debt obligations and, in doing so, working their way out of the debt burden. The committee has been focusing on how financial institutions have achieved it. When we meet with Permanent TSB and other institutions in January, we will scrutinise it to ensure it is doing that.

I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee and I propose to suspend the meeting until we resume with the OECD discussing the lobbying legislation.
