Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

I welcome my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Billy Kelleher, and his departmental officials to the House. Like other speakers, I congratulate the Minister of State for these amendments. The mechanism being proposed will allow collective investment funds and will put in place the appropriate mechanism to accommodate business opportunities. This is the type of work people want to see Members doing in this House - being proactive and ensuring the appropriate mechanisms are in place to encourage investment opportunities in Ireland.
