I thank the committee for its engagement and support. This is an important Bill. It is important to focus on the repayment and the exposure of the State, but I remember it is not long ago that the EU was concerned about Ireland's capacity to repay funding that was provided to us in our time of need. We worked hard to make sure it was done, have come out of it well and are now net contributors, so we have an obligation to make sure we provide the same support to others who need it as we did.
