We could bring the meeting to a sour end by talking about the different affiliations to other organisations that each of our political parties has had, but I will not do it. I will simply just inform the committee that conservative parties are not members of the political family that Fine Gael is in.

Second, I will stand over the point I made very firmly that the maximum amount that participants in this scheme can drawdown is limited in cash terms but not in the Deputy’s scheme. Therefore, that means the open-ended risk in his scheme is bigger. We can continue this debate on Report Stage.

I appreciate the Deputy acknowledged that at least until recently I have done my best to be truthful in my answers to him. However, from where I sit, I have maintained that commitment to truthfulness all the way up to this evening.
