The Deputy, who is in the House much longer than I am, knows that the question of facilitating debates is a matter for the Whips which can be dealt with in that context. The Minister for Finance is frequently available to the House and the relevant committee and I am sure that an opportunity will be taken on an early occasion by Deputy Broughan or others to raise that issue with the Minister. I think there was a debate here earlier this morning with the Minister for Justice and Equality on precisely the issue Deputy Broughan raises. Certainly, if it is a matter that is amenable to debate, that can be arranged.

I have no particular proposal or intention to bring forward legislation on the regulator. I do not accept that the regulator is not doing the job it is there to do.
