I was going simply to welcome the announcement of the setting up of the bank inquiry. Everyone wishes to see an inquiry into the events, particularly leading up to the night of the bank guarantee. That is rightly the preliminary focus and it should be the first focus of the inquiry when it is set up. However, in respect of the issue about No. 2, I do not believe it is appropriate that we should have a debate. It is appropriate that we would have a debate about the shape of the inquiry but I do not believe we should be hanging it on the hook of the commencement order for the Houses of the Oireachtas (Inquiries, Privileges and Procedures) Act 2013. I do not see the point of that.
