I nearly forgot Deputy Healy-Rae. I did not hear him. He was drowned out by his colleague, Deputy Mattie McGrath, beside him.

The deposit retention scheme, committed to in the programme for Government and approved by Cabinet, should be rolled out as a matter of urgency to ensure that students are not exploited. The Taoiseach promised it in the programme for Government.

There is a Bill under way, as Deputy Healy-Rae will be aware, for changes in respect of mortgages and I will advise the Deputy on where we are with that. By the way, I met the man from Radio Kerry last week.

The Taoiseach did, and I thank him for doing so.
