Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I understand the point Deputy D'Arcy is making, although it is not directly relevant to this debate. It is an issue, but one we can discuss at another time. Deputy Burton asked about the future of EBS and Irish Nationwide Building Society. I outlined the position on an institution-specific basis with regard to both institutions in my speech last Tuesday. Each institution must submit a structural plan by the end of June to the European Commission for final approval. We will work with the institution and the Commission in that regard.
