Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I have learned during the years in business that one gets the greatest sense of achievement from doing something profitable that is also good for the community. Many companies work to do that because of the benefits they get from it. Therefore I can understand exactly what Senators Mullen and O'Toole are doing in setting this worthy objective but I am not going to support their amendment because in this matter we must be totally focused. We must focus on getting the economy and NAMA right and bring order to our situation. It is not possible to achieve several objectives at once. The objective here is to get our finances in order and we do not have the freedom to add these good, worthy things to that process. I would love to support the amendment but I am unable to do so.
