My final point is positive and it is probably one to which Mr. Prizeman may wish to respond. I refer to the work being done by Bank of Ireland's regional and branch managers in respect of credit clinics. I have attended two such clinics in County Wicklow and they were extremely positive in nature. There is a need for an increase in the number of these clinics. I am very much on board with the idea of businesses needing to know that the bank has money available to lend. I acknowledge the work being done in respect of these clinics. The latter constitute a positive development.
