I would like to address what Deputy Conway-Walsh said with regard to the banks and the Government strategy to divest from banks. The Government does not have a view that it should remain an owner of the bank. The Government also had the view that it should move back to private ownership as part of the broader economic strategy of showing that the State does not engage and does not get involved in the decision-making or does not get involved in an overreaching sort of way in a general sense in private companies. I know that Sinn Féin indicated in legislation that it would do this in respect of insurance companies. I wonder if Sinn Féin would take that view when its representatives go travelling across the US to tell people that nothing will be different and that companies should expect the exact same thing that it said that it has put in legislation-----
