I thought the Deputy might want to say sorry for his earlier remark.

I do not mind saying I support the European project and have done so since the beginning, but I also do not mind saying we should, whenever necessary, be critical of the direction Europe might be taking on any aspect of the role it plays. I also believe we should never forget our own sovereignty and our own people and, if we are not happy about the direction Europe is taking, we should not be afraid to put forward views and opinions in an effort to change that direction. On the militarisation of Europe and the talk…

I contributed to the previous debate on this issue. We were addressing what exactly happened to Grace. At the end of that debate, it was suggested that this House, as it represents the people, should insist on continuing to go back to the Grace case, to highlight the issues involved and to make sure that everything was dealt with. Since then, we have had various reports, including that which we are discussing. I am shocked by the manner in which the report has been presented, by the language in it and by the fact t…

We have to adjourn the debate at 12 noon. We will come back to it next week. We will resume with the Deputy next week. I thank the Minister for taking the debate and extend my sympathies to her on her recent bereavement.

Please, Deputy Doherty.

Thank you, Deputy.

Before we move to Deputy O'Donoghue, I want to acknowledge the family members of Deputy Brian Brennan from the Wicklow-Wexford constituency, who are here in the Public Gallery on this special day for his mother, Ann, who is 91-years-of-age. They are all very welcome. I hope they enjoy their day.

No pressure, Minister.

That is a very relevant question.

I will go back to Deputy James O'Connor for his question.

Before the general election, the Department of Finance was in the process of drafting legislation to wind down IBRC and a discussion was held at the finance committee regarding the Butler family, who had difficulties with their particular loan and circumstances. I note that the draft legislation suggests that the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman, and the complaints that that office has, will be transferred to a resolution office. Will the Taoiseach ensure that the outstanding cases before the FSPO or the C…

It is very interesting, Minister. I call Deputy Carthy.

You are out of order, Deputy. I ask the Taoiseach to continue.

I will ask Deputy Hearne to please observe the rules of the House and allow the Taoiseach to answer the questions that he has been asked.

You have had your opportunity.

I thank the Deputy and ask him to conclude.

We are out of time, but the Taoiseach may want to give a quick response.

We are out of time. I ask the Taoiseach to conclude as we are moving on to the next business.

The Minister is sharing time.
