Senator O'Donovan's amendment is certainly worthy of consideration and I am sure we can have a frank and honest debate on Report Stage. I do not necessarily believe in the blame game although history and the facts will speak for themselves. We are here to try to do a job and try to have balanced and constructive debate. The contributions by and large are balanced and constructive. Ultimately, we need to have an effective working banking system while at the same time protect as many people as possible and keep them in their homes. The amendment is worthy of consideration, perhaps on Report Stage. I did not have a chance to study it ahead of coming in here because I was asked to do this at the last minute. Having reviewed it and listened to Senator O'Donovan's contribution, I have no doubt the Minister will reflect on it positively.
