I compliment Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell and the Opposition on what has been a highly constructive debate. It has shown the good side of this Chamber in the way in which matters are taken here in a very serious way. I have mentioned previously the Minister's bona fides and his commitment to protecting State assets and believe this to be true. He has shown great ability to save us in many respects from the worst effects of the desire of the IMF and the troika that Ireland should sell off a great deal more than the national lottery, were they to have had the way they would have liked to have had, on first entering this country.
