I note that the promissory note is included under Government debt. Is Mr. Corrigan directly involved in the discussions and negotiations in that area? How does he see progress being made in that area? I am trying to find a way of framing my questions so that Mr. Corrigan can make some comment on the matter. I am fishing, essentially. In keeping with the positive mood, I very much welcome the plans to raise €10 billion next year. It is very important we, as a nation, will be able to wave the IMF and EU goodbye, hopefully at Shannon Airport in order to drum up some more business there. In terms of the overall management of Government debt, from Mr. Corrigan's perspective, how important is it to get a deal on the promissory note?
