I thank Professor Lane and his colleagues for attending the meeting. I know it was long but there are many issues that confront us which we have to deal with. The clerk might take up the discussion on the credit unions for the future. We might have a fuller engagement on that. In closing the meeting, I referred earlier to the case of a young woman who has been jailed since the long weekend, Yvonne Walsh. I strongly appeal to the financial entity and those that represent her in court to visit her in jail and bring about a resolution to the problem. No one wants to see a young mother in jail in her efforts to protect her family home. It is not what this country stands for and we do not want it. I thank everyone for attending.
