Eamonn Maloney (Dublin South West, Labour)

I welcome this report and compliment Declan Keane and the other members of the working group on publishing it. Unlike some of the previous speakers this evening and during last week's debate on this subject, who seem to make a virtue of the fact that they are having sleepless nights about two bankers participating in the working group, out of a total of 17, I will lose no such sleep because at the final end of this process it is not two bankers or 100 bankers who will decide on this document or the legislation but the people elected to this House.
