I should have welcomed people from the Irish League of Credit Unions, ILCU, at the beginning but I did not get to. I welcome David Malone, the CEO, and Margaret Heffernan, the vice president. I welcome Kevin Johnson, who is the CEO of the Credit Union Development Association, CUDA. I welcome Colm Lawless, who is no stranger to many of us in Leinster House. He is the director of the ILCU and the chair of Heritage Credit Union. As a former member of the credit union supervisory board, I think we are all part of the credit union movement in this House. Our guests are all very welcome.

We are moving on to group 7, which is organisational and administrative issues, specifically the AGM and communications, and the subject matter of amendments Nos. 39 to 45, inclusive, and amendment No. 88. I ask the Minister of State to contribute.
