It is a good debate. On the one hand, there is a formal review and on the other, information. We are speaking in the dark to a large extent. Our assessment of the information might lead to a call for a review but we do not start with a review. Could the Minister of State give an undertaking that the committee would be provided with information on the key metrics that have been raised, not just in respect of aviation leasing but the investment in limited partnerships and securitisation transactions? That might be more difficult. Could the Minister of State give us the key information we require to assess whether we want to call for a review? We are speaking in the dark by and large. Deputy Doherty read out information about aviation leasing but if we could get the official facts and figures and put it on the agenda for a committee meeting, we can then assess them.
