The Taoiseach and the Tánaiste meet the banks quite regularly to talk to them about how they are dealing with poor, unfortunate families who are worried about keeping the roof over their head. In addition, the regulator, Mr. Elderfield, also has regular meetings. I am certain the observations of the Senators reflect their experience from meeting people in this kind of trouble, to both the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste and to the Governor of the Central Bank and the Financial Regulator. I remind the Senators of the status of the code of conduct.
