The Minister of State has said that there is a wish that this proceeds in an orderly manner, but there must be concern at this stage that this will not happen and it will not be orderly. In fact, there are approximately 900,000 customers affected. I am sure every one of us knows from being contacted by those affected what their experiences have been. They talk about being put off, not being able to get through and not getting the type of support they want. They talk about their concern and what the future holds for them and for their accounts. We saw the measure - it was reported yesterday - that the Central Bank took, but I believe there is a role for the Minister to intervene and to ensure this process proceeds and there is an adequate response from the banks involved because people are deeply concerned that the process will not be orderly.
