To turn to another area, I want to refer to evidence by Mr. Gleeson, the former chairman of AIB. When he came before the inquiry, he said ... it's in relation to sectoral lending limits:

[W]e would have been very well off not to have exceeded that sectoral limit. It's a great shame that we didn't.

Do you have a view, yourself, from the position of the regulator as to regret or otherwise that you didn't pursue those limits beyond some of the letters that had been referred to, I think, by Senator Barrett in his ... his ... his earlier question?
