I ask Mr. Considine to be more specific because we know all of that. When a dispute arises and it is clear that debt forgiveness is required, the bank takes the view that it is not willing to give it, whereas the Government, the taxpayer and the Oireachtas believe debt forgiveness should be provided for. Does Mr. Considine see his role of public interest director as batting for the bank's opinion or the taxpayer's opinion?
