I, too, support the Bill, having voted for it on Second Stage yesterday. However, I also believe it tinkers at the edges and is akin to treating someone for a cold when he or she has a much more serious medical problem. The European Union and International Monetary Fund have dealt with Greece in a ham-fisted manner from the beginning. The Greek people have resisted this approach with some success. We have not had an overall evaluation of the real problem or the way forward. Ireland is being held up as the good boy of Europe while Greece is portrayed as its bad boy. The root cause needs to be addressed. As Deputy Michael McGrath noted, this matter will come before us again in the not too distant future.
