We need to get a positive approach, particularly where the State has shareholdings in these banks. The TWSS will have to be extended. This will cause other issues for people who have had no reduction in their income, who are not at any risk of losing their jobs and who have paid a substantial deposit, amounting to thousands of euro, which they are going to lose as a result of the approach that has been taken by a number of the banks. The Minister needs to lay down the law as much as he can at that meeting tomorrow. I hope that he can then make a public statement to inform people as to what the approach of each of the banks will be after that meeting.
