Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I again ask the Minister of State the question the Minister asked of Fine Gael in regard to NewEra. Is it not inappropriate to privatise VHI at this time given the current state of the capital markets and how much does the Minister hope to raise from this sale? That is the question posed to Fine Gael in respect of NewEra. I would like now to hear the Minister's answer in regard to the Government's proposal to privatise VHI.
