Mr. John Corrigan:

To answer the Deputy's question on the relationship between the NTMA and the Government, the NTMA is an agent of the Minister for Finance. We report to the Minister for Finance. I report directly to the Minister for Finance. Government makes policy. We provide certain input into that in the limited area of debt management and we execute government policy. As I referred to earlier, we are not policy makers in the main; we are policy takers.
