John Carty (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Billy Kelleher. He has been here a number of times already and it is my pleasure to welcome him again today. I also welcome the Bill, which contains a number of sensible provisions that will clear up grey areas in the law on loans to company directors and some other areas of company law. The Opposition parties welcome the Bill because they recognise it is good and necessary legislation.
