It is the case I believe that you continue to pay salaries to some of these developers ... and because my time is up can I finish by asking you, considering all this - the huge write downs, future tax breaks, very significant salaries I understand for some of these developers that are on your books. Would the hard-pressed taxpayer out there and the victims of the austerity that resulted from the bubble and the crash, be forgiven for feeling somewhat bitter about how you treat as an arm of the State, developers, considering how they've suffered from what went on?
