Senator Feighan’s point was correct and the Minister of State should be cognisant of it. Many people have lost through bank shares and pensions. Many people have a huge issue here but are too proud to say it. They will not go on the Joe Duffy show or talk about it publicly because it is a private but distressing reality. It needs to be addressed in this context.

This has been a fruitful and wonderful exercise. I am confident our contributions are not wasted because I know how sincere and effective the Minister of State is in this role.
