I want to ask two sets of questions if the time allows. The first set relates to programme B under Vote 7, specifically the area of financial services and banking sustainability. What work, if any, or to the extent the Minister can elaborate on, is his Department doing in contributing to the effort to recruit and attract financial services institutions and, crucially, jobs to this jurisdiction, particularly in light of the Brexit decision? What efforts are being made from a Government perspective to truly examine the Irish banking sector at this point in time, in light of the very worrying news in recent months in respect of the withdrawal of KBC, the winding down of Ulster Bank the change of operations for Bank of Ireland?
