Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I return to section 210. I welcome the fact that the guidelines will be issued by the Minister but I would like to see more than guidelines. I would like to see the spirit of Deputy O'Donnell's amendment taken on board so that we have proper legislation to protect private mortgage holders and legislation to provide much-needed funding for SMEs. This legislative protection should not be placed within NAMA legislation but must be provided soon. I hope the Minister of State can provide some guarantees in his summation speech.
