I would like to move on to another area, the banks. The gross investment by the NTMA in the two banks currently is €20.6 billion. This is a staggering amount - almost two thirds of our tax take. Am I correct that the NTMA values the fallen investment currently at approximately €6 billion? This is an approximate 71% fall in the overall investment - €14.6 billion of a fall. Can Mr. Corrigan give me the breakdown between the gross investment in AIB and Bank of Ireland and what he regards as their net value to 31 October? What future does Mr. Corrigan envisage in terms of the value of that particular investment?
