Therefore, the Minister of State's statement is very welcome. On that basis, I will not press amendment No. 70.

I welcome the commitment of the Minister for Justice and Equality to deal with this issue. What is absent is a timeframe and movement on this issue, although there have been efforts for quite a while to have the area regulated. On that basis, I will press the amendment concerning the regulation of the collectors of consumer credit debt. I hope we can identify a timeframe to deal with that issue because while it is something that would not fall within my brief as finance spokesperson, I have a keen interest in it and would like to work on it with the Ministers for Finance and Justice and Equality.
