Work has been done - it was published three or four weeks ago - on wealth distribution in Ireland. With regard to the work published yesterday, either it was misleading or people used the basic research to mislead, because they talked about wealth distribution in Ireland being the most unequal in Europe. Then there was a footnote to say that, of course, when we take social welfare transfers and the tax system into account, it is bang on the European average. How one could do a serious piece of research and have that down as a line at the end-----
