Absolutely. Many have written about the African renaissance. There was nothing that made it more clear what it meant to be Irish than standing on the side of a hill in Malawi in unbelievably difficult circumstances and seeing a well being built with Irish taxpayers' expertise and money and learning that the name of the local guy who was taking me around the area was Patrick. I never met so many people with the names Patrick and Francis. They attended Irish schools and were taught by Irish missionaries. It was extraordinary to hear their very different view of Ireland.

In that vein, in regard to the institutions, I wish to return to a matter to which Mr. Rogers briefly referred. It is the idea that if we had been able to get the receipts, we would have been able to ensure this would not have been happening. If a group of people are capable of tapping into and perpetrating a sophisticated fraud on any government institution, they are capable of producing a bunch of counterfiet receipts also. It is the wrong barometer or benchmark to have.
