Mr. John McCarthy:

OECD rather than IMF. Just the ... these were, they're not my own comments I would stress Senator, but I would agree with you. It is good to have people making these recommendations. Sometimes they're not entirely accurate and so forth, but they are good to provoke thought and certainly on the deposit guarantee scheme and some of those other issues, they were important. Just because there is a suggestion from somebody in the Department, and its not myself, that these be removed, does not mean that they were actually removed. This report, and its an OECD report I think from 2008, the twice ... every two years review of the Irish economy. That is ... the ownership of the report belongs to what's called the economic development and review committee of the OECD. So just because we ask for changes doesn't mean changes are taken. There is a meeting every ... there is a meeting around this and the committee can take on board any comments or they can delete comments and see them as inappropriate. But I would accept your point in the sense that it is good to have some of these recommendations. They may not necessarily be correct in all circumstances but it is good to provoke thought and it is good to have the debate as to whether they are relevant. But I would also point out, and it's the final point, every finance ministry in the world when they come to deal with the IMF or the OECD in this case, would come back with recommended changes. Some of them are just nuances, some of them are more substantive.
