Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)

The reason we are here is to protect taxpayers and that should be reflected in the functions of the Bill. Subsection (xi) will ensure that the situation does not occur again, and we all want to ensure that this does not happen.

It is a disappointment that the Bill is being guillotined. Perhaps the Minister might extend the debate. If time is limited, there certainly should be an opportunity for parties to prioritise the most important amendments.
