Before we begin the question and answer session I propose that we adhere to some of the usual ground rules. Heretofore the arrangement has been that the lead spokesperson for each party will be allocated a total of ten minutes interaction with those giving evidence while other members may avail of five minutes each. This session will conclude at 4 p.m. to allow for witnesses from Bank of Ireland. We will keep an eye on the clock and indicate when one minute speaking time remains. Is that agreed? Agreed.
