I will bring the Deputy's views to the attention of the Minister for Finance. I am sure the Deputy did not intend this but I reject any criticism of Department of Finance officials or the Minister in respect of this matter. Every action taken was on the basis of protecting members' savings. I am sure the Deputy accepts the bona fides of the Department and the Government in that regard.
