Mr. John Moran:

The advice was along the lines I said, which is that we had a number of different considerations to take into play, including what was the objective performance of the bank over that period of time, a large measure of which is the valuation of the shareholding. We talked earlier about the AIB gap of €6.5 billion. If we were to find that the AIB management team and others were to find a way to close that gap, we would be very happy as shareholders in respect of the bank shareholding at the end of the year. I do not believe we would be sitting here quibbling about this amount of money; we would be finding ways in which we might reward the management team.
