Yes, thanks Chair. Mr. Goggin, you said earlier on in response to my question that you would prefer not to disclose your annual pension from Bank of Ireland, and can I put it to you that... you know... the Irish people would have preferred not to have had to have guaranteed Bank of Ireland, would have preferred not to have had to put in €4.7 billion into the bank and to deal with consequences that flow from that. Perhaps you might like to reflect on your response and to put it to you that it was certainly reported in the media that your annual pension from the bank on your departure was in the region of €650,000.
