This is an important amendment. I commend Deputies Ruairí Quinn and John Perry for alerting the Government to the need for it in the other House and I commend the Minister of State for bringing it forward here.

Given the fund manager is American, would he or she listen to an Irish Minister, would he or she be compelled to do so and how would we enforce that requirement? The amendment is being made in order to oversee and safeguard the management of the fund. How would such a measure be enforced, if that had to be done?
