I very much welcome the representatives of the commission and thank them for their views and the overview. They have certainly given us a wide range of food for thought, but I do not see this scheme being advanced much in the remaining lifetime of this Parliament. It is important, however, and I am glad that the public debate has commenced. It will be a matter for the next government to deal with.

Some important matters have been touched upon. Dr. Byrne spoke about declarations of interests, but I thought everything beyond about €14,000 had to be reported.
