I welcome the Minister and his officials to the meeting. In the context of the banking union, when does the Minister envisage that Irish consumers, including mortgage holders, SMEs, corporate customers, will be able to avail of a single European market for financial services? When will they be able to acquire loans, for example, from European banks? What elements of the banking union have yet to be put in place for that Single Market in financial services to operate freely across the Union?
