Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The economy has been extremely strong in recent years. That has helped the profitability of many companies, including banks. By the way, the Central Bank governs the supervision of banks, as the Deputy knows. However, I do believe that in the next while we should focus on finance available to building and house building in particular, that both the cost of that finance would be reduced and that the banks would engage much more on the single greatest priority facing this country, which is housing. That is where my focus is on engagement.
