Cuirim fáilte riomh an Aire. Deputy Michael McGrath spoke about the separation of sovereign and banking debt and I will pick up on that point.

As I have limited time I will not ask the Minister again whether he has raised the matter or whether he will do so. I welcome the comments the Minister made publicly last week on this issue. When will real negotiations begin on this? I understand the Government's stated position is that it will be when the fund is up and running and we have an EU banking union. When does the Minister believe intense negotiations on the commitment given in June 2012 will be thrashed out around the table?
