No. I am trying to bring to the Central Bank's attention the reason for the Bill being here. The reason for this and the other Bills that are coming before us is Oireachtas Members are being approached by individuals who are telling us this story. We hear about the stress. We witness them crying with their children, in courts all over the country in the context of repossession. Deputy Doherty's response to it is this Bill. The response of the Central Bank and the Department of Finance is that they are doing all they can, the whole world will cave in if they do anything to upset the banks and Bills like this are left behind because when all fruit fails, bring in the Constitution. That will surely scuttle the Bill.
