I will, if that is okay. I thank the Deputy for his support on the passage of this Bill. I know he acknowledges the importance of it to the sector. The sector is very encouraged by the broad support in the House for the credit union sector and for legislation that will enable it to provide much more support and financial services to the people of Ireland. This is very significantly amending legislation and I know the Deputy and I both hope to see its implementation. We will be supervising that through CUAC and trying to make sure we are achieving what we need to achieve.

The Deputy asked me on Committee Stage about the setting of the maximum interest rate and I committed to coming back to him. I do not know if the briefings in between have answered any of his questions but I am happy to address that if he wishes.
