Overview of the Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Bank of Ireland

Mr. Richie Boucher:
I do not know the quantum, but we financed 10,000 acres of land transfers to the farming sector last year. We did 50% of the new lending to the agricultural sector last year. That excludes the very large co-ops and so on, so it would primarily be farming, but could also be small food manufacturers - craft food and so on. I do not have the figures off the top of my head, but we will come back to the Deputy on that.
