Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I do not want to force the hand of the House on this. There are amendments in the next batch on subordinated debt and I am happy to consider them in the context of the formulation of the scheme. The original scheme on foot of the original guarantee Act was considerably influenced by comments made in the House and they were very much taken into account in the formulation of the scheme. I will consider Deputy Bruton's point on the possible interaction of this section with the section which allows the Minister to conclude an individual agreement. It is worth examining that issue and I will undertake to do so.
