This reflects the progress made in dealing with the issue. As for his particular question on whether the Taoiseach has read the books mentioned, I am afraid that is one question I cannot answer on his behalf. However, I have read some of them and I am aware of some of the views to which the Deputy has referred.

On Deputy James Bannon's point on the focus on regulation, this was a main theme of the Council in the discussion that took place on setting up the banking union and the next steps that must be taken regarding the enhanced role the European Central Bank would play.

I see that no time remains to me.
