I have a question for Mr. O'Regan on a similar theme. In his opening statement he said there was no conscious attempt by him, as editor, or on the part of the Irish Independentto fuel the property boom. What were the main factors at play in the newspaper? Regarding media coverage of the Irish property boom during the crisis period of 2002 to 2007, how would he describe the narrative that was being portrayed in the media at that time?
