Feargal Quinn (Independent)

The Minister will be aware that I voted with the Government earlier in supporting the view that the business plan should not be in existence before the interim board is set up. However, if a business plan is presented, I find it strange that the Minister has not included the words "financial viability". I refer to amendments Nos. 21, 22 and 23. The Minister appears to be saying that is taken for granted, so to speak, but I am not sure that is the case. I realise it will be presented to the Minister for Finance and on that basis it is unlikely to be taken unless there is financial viability. I would have thought the Bill would be strengthened by the inclusion of the words "financial viability" in all three cases and I urge the Minister to reconsider that.
