Seemingly, the section, to which Senator Sheahan refers, refers to non-residents. It is the common bond between two credit unions and it is an appropriate mechanism for that situation.

In reply to Senator Sheahan, I have been reminded that there is a Bill on Second Stage, the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Bill 2011, which we will be debating here shortly and which will protect whisleblowers in financial institutions.
