I am not a formal member of this committee, I am a visiting one. With the gracious support of the Cathaoirleach I have decided to jump in and, I hope, contribute where I can. I am a new TD and I am also a graduate of London Business School from over a decade ago now. There was a professor I studied under who was an adviser to the President of France who spoke a lot about fiscal unions, fiscal transfers, the capital markets in the European Union and how they should evolve. In the context of the tumult we are experiencing across the Continent, it is important we bring that scrutiny to the affairs of the European Union, especially with the new European Parliament and the new EU institutions. That will be most of my focus and I thank you all so much for having me in.
