Nine Members have raised the matter of Permanent TSB, namely, Senators Ardagh, Conway-Walsh, McDowell, Butler, Davitt, Ó Domhnaill, Murnane O'Connor, Marie-Louise O'Donnell and Norris. There is absolutely legitimate concern over the proposed sale of the loan book. We had a debate on this on the Order of Business last Thursday. It was initiated by Senator McDowell. All of us share a common concern. All of us want to see the people expected to be affected treated fairly and properly. Nothing has happened yet. Permanent TSB has not consulted the Minister for Finance. It is duty-bound to do so.
