Bernard Durkan: I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. A typical example of some of the things that are happening at present is that the lender will encourage the submission of a proposal to make payments or bring about a resolution and, invariably, that will have to be referred to a credit committee, which will reject it on the basis it is not realistic or sustainable.
