Firstly, I wish to advise the Deputy that I receive many proposals on aspects of policy within the remit of my Department, all of which are examined by my officials. In relation to this particular proposal, I would remind the Deputy that the Relationship Frameworks with the banks provide that the State will not intervene in the day-to-day operations of the banks or their management decisions including with respect to pricing and lending decisions. These frameworks are published on the Department of Finance website at http://banking.finance.gov.ie/presentations-and-latest-documents/ .
