And the committee now is formally back in public session and can I ask members and those of the public Gallery to ensure that their mobile devices are switched off. In welcoming back, our witness today is Mr. Patrick Neary, former CEO of the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority. And, as I mentioned this morning, we were focusing on the period of Mr. Neary's tenure up to October 2007 and this afternoon's session will focus upon developments in the period from November 2007 to January 2009. And, if required, I may ... we may facilitate situations that are maybe still outstanding from this morning as well or questions that relate to that period of tenure. So with that said, if I can call on Deputy Doherty, please, to open this afternoon's questions. Deputy, you have 25 minutes.
