Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

Many of the arguments used in this jurisdiction were derived from sources in the United States, where an entirely different legal context applies. If the Deputy is asking me whether we should move towards the legal context of the United States, I think we should be open and positive about doing so but I would express the reservation that any proposals have to be judged in terms of the impact they will have on the capacity of institutions to raise funds.
