Okay. I have been genuinely impressed by the forthright way Mr. Corrigan has elaborated on the context of this and on the discussion he has with State Street. It is to his credit and to that of his organisation. I am, however, struggling to reconcile in my mind the manner in which he described it.

The NTMA speculated on internal collusion in an organisation but we continue to do business with it. Mr. Corrigan has stated he wishes to leave the matter as it is. I will respect that view. However, it will definitely be an issue of continuing interest to the committee.

On the more general engagement with the market, Deputy O'Donnell raised some points in his contribution. How critical is a bank deal to our successful re-entry to the financial markets?
