I have two brief final questions. In his book The Builders, co-authored with Kathy Sheridan, the witness details the careers of many of the largest developers and builders in Ireland prior to the crisis. Can the witness outline briefly how he would describe their approach to business? Does he believe that their entrepreneurial approach had an impact on the subsequent boom in prices and the difficulties which arose from that?
