Go raibh maith agat. Tá fáilte roimh an tUasal Torpey agus Gallagher. Mr. Torpey, if I can ask you just in relation to Ulster Bank, UBIL, relied heavily on intergroup funding from RBS Group to fund the growth in its loan book. Did this ability to borrow from its parent company lead you to expand the loan book at a faster rate than you would have or could have if you had to rely solely on third party funding?
