I thank Mr. Wallace and the other delegates. It is nice to be here and to have stuck with it so far. As Mr. Wallace knows, property rights are deeply ingrained in the Irish people's consciousness. Some 100 years ago we were subject to absentee landlords and it now looks like we are back in that space again. If Mr. Wallace's home loan was being thrown to the wolves without there being any opportunity for him to buy it back, would he be happy?
