I have a final question. At several points in his report, Mr. Wright referred to the two dominant processes. He touched on them briefly already - the programmes for Government and the social partnership. After the publication of Mr. Wright's report, the secretary general of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions at the time, Mr. David Begg, described Mr. Wright's criticism of social partnership as a facile exercise of scapegoating designed to obscure the true cause of the collapse, which was the banks, builders and toxic Government policy. Does Mr. Wright have any views on that particular comment by Mr. Begg?
