Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

While I will not delay the House, one would appreciate that those who have been named, and they have been named from a wide source, will be sitting there, going through the annual meetings of the banks, with the shareholders asking questions. Much more importantly, however, this was an important gesture as to how the public interest is served. If they are to serve the public interest as was the intention, they need legal clarity. I appreciate the memorandum.
