This type of collaboration and discourse is what Seanad Éireann should be about. It is our responsibility to challenge the Government and this means people on the Government side as well. I get criticised because I probably do it too much. The money of the most vulnerable should not be subject to boom and bust. The rest of society suffers enough from that. I would probably have gone a step further than Senator Norris and insisted that the investment be in blue chip Government bonds because I certainly would not trust the banks. We saw what happened to the banks and all that went with it.
