My final point is a positive one. The number in respect of the mortgage to rent scheme has gone up from 26 six months ago to 300. Banks are telling us that is a cumbersome process but obviously the representatives' bank is overcoming the challenges. They might comment on the figure of 300, although I may be wrong about that.

Is Mr. Duffy aware of there having been a custom in the bank where money was lent to members of the legal profession on the basis of funds that were held in client accounts? Has that been brought to his attention or to the attention of previous management, or is it a practice that existed in the bank?
