Emer Currie (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Minister of State for the reply. I very much welcome the statements by the Tánaiste and the work that has taken place on personal investment accounts. It is a world of opportunity for us. It is a very positive move in terms of maximising the savings that are being put away and could be working harder for everyone.
I also welcome the work that is being done around financial literacy and making investments more accessible for people. Like I said, this was an eye-opener for me. Since I spoke about ETFs and the deemed disposal rule I have met many people on their doorsteps who are concerned about this issue. It has certainly opened up my eyes to how much focus there can be on this area.
When I see issues, I come up with solutions and I try to be practical. I suggest the figures today as a stepping stone towards the abolition of the deemed disposal rule. It might be something that the Department of Finance could look at. I look forward to the budget.
