The Central Bank called on me to bring in this Bill in May 2018. I have acted as quickly as I could on that. That is not four and a half years ago but I accept it is still a long time ago. I have used that time to bring forward legislation that is robust and that will be effective. That is what I have done but it has taken time to get to that point. The Deputy is not too bad at diversionary tactics himself. I never created any inference on his motivations.
