We are actively ensuring that this happens. This is no political witch-hunt. This goes back to when we brought this referendum to the people in October and November 2011. Unfortunately, the Government did not get the result it wished for. We said we would go back and reflect. We brought the legislation to the House and it was enacted in the middle of last year. The Taoiseach announced in the Dáil in September 2013 that he was going to set up a banking inquiry and this is where we are today in setting up this inquiry. This is part of the process of doing so. I commend the changes to the House and thank all Members on both sides of the House for their comments.
