I thank the Governor for his opening presentation, which seems like a long time ago at this stage. I congratulate him also on his appointment, which obviously reflects very well on him but on the country as well. We will all bask in some reflected glory and I wish him well in that role.
In that connection, tomorrow in the Seanad we will deal with the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform (Amendment) Bill 2019, which is a Bill being put forward by the Minister of State, Deputy Kevin Boxer Moran. The Sunday Business Postalluded to the fact that the Governor's new employer or boss, Mr. Mario Draghi, is not very keen on this, and there is a European Central Bank, ECB, opinion on this Bill. What are the Governor's thoughts on this legislation?
