The only reason the Minister of State and the Government will not oppose section 2 is that they would send back a blank piece of paper to the House and show up this farce and the fact that they refuse to co-operate. We will have a debate on the Minister of State's legislation. I am glad certain things will move on this. However, is the Minister of State serious about €560, with no agreement that it will come down at a later stage? It is ridiculous and the cap is too high. What does the moneylender currently charge for that loan?
