Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Cormac McCarthy:

Our policies were such that we couldn't offer it, other than to professionals, so to do it, arguably properly, we had to go through a process and approve it and put it on the shelf. So, yes, we did launch the product in a public way, so ... but to that end, it didn't make significant difference to our market share in time, so ... and the total amount that we lent as a percentage of our portfolio amounted to some 4%, so it wasn't a significant part of our business, as it turned out.
