Can I ask in relation to a question asked by Senator D'Arcy in relation to the growth targets for AIB in the years prior to you coming into your position, you said and I quote: "I'm not sure that growth targets are the way to manage a bank, rather capital levels and liquidity". I'm asking you really for your opinion as to the previous holders of your position, do you believe that they held a similar view to yourself with regard to growth targets versus capital levels and the question of liquidity?
