Mr. Forde, the report of the Allied Irish Banks said that in 2004 you took home a salary of €575,000 and a bonus of €600,000 - €1.75 million. Is that an inordinate amount of money, in view particularly of what happened very shortly after that? And secondly, my last question is in relation to the people out there who have been burned badly as a result of the bubble and crash and what the banks and the bondholders did. Do you understand how bitter they feel towards the bankers like yourself?
