Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister sincerely for what is an important intervention. The key words he used were confidence in the economy. I am also very grateful to Senator O'Toole and I fully appreciate, despite my earlier remarks, the expertise he brought to bear on the debate because of his involvement with the audit review group. The fact that he conveyed to the Minister many of the concerns that have been expressed is also important.
