I move amendment No. 10:

In page 59, subsection (1), line 16, after "Finance" to insert "and the approval of Dáil Éireann".

The Minister has included a new subsection (3) here, which may be to cater for the fact that he wants the approval of Dáil Éireann for the sale of any property by IFI. The new subsection states: "The Minister shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Joint Oireachtas Committee of the details of any sale completed in accordance with subsection (1)." Would it be possible to alter this so the Oireachtas committee could be informed before the sale is completed, not in order to allow the committee alter the sale agreement, but to allow it express any concerns and influence the sale? It should not be a fait accompli where the Oireachtas committee has no real say because the sale has been completed.
