I thank the Cathaoirleach and apologise for being late as I was caught up with something else. I am looking for guidance on this issue, on which I am no expert. The correspondent has written to and been in contact with a lot of TDs regarding automatic enrolment. He did his best to explain the issue to us and we raised it in the Dáil and did our best to have it addressed. I do not know where we go now with this. This man has raised serious issues. I realise we are in trouble from proactively looking into the matter. I am looking for guidance on this. The figures he has outlined are extraordinary. He is a former president of the Society of Actuaries in Ireland and has nothing personally to gain from this. I take what he is saying seriously. It merits looking at in some way but I do not know how. I have tried as best I can as a TD. I will be guided by the Cathaoirleach and the Comptroller and Auditor General.
