I agree with Senator Twomey. One issue raised is that of mutualisation which, I understand, finds favour with many people in the VHI. This effectively means the members would own it. This would lock in everybody. A number of suggestions have been made but no decision has been made. My guess is that it is unlikely to be privatised.
