I am broadly familiar with the issue of the lending limits. It is very much a regulatory issue. It would be wrong of me, as Minister, to cross over into space that belongs to the Central Bank. The Oireachtas has a role in setting the legislative framework for the Central Bank to perform its functions, but it would be wrong and inappropriate of me as a Minister to comment on a specific regulatory function that relates to the Central Bank.
