I gather that the other House has been suspended on the basis of the appointments to the banking inquiry. If I could do anything to alleviate the fears that appear to exist in Government that the committee as constituted would not serve the country, I would welcome the opportunity, at your discretion, to explain my position. I appreciate that we have resumed discussion of the Bill but I wish to set the fears of the Government at ease on how the finance committee operates under Deputy Ciarán Lynch.
