Yes. Thanks, Chair. I'm gratified that we can see that as well as the insomniacs and alcoholics, we can now add a new cohort of viewers - demoted Ministers. Chair, Tánaiste - Deputy Burton - just very briefly, you both touched on the issue of Oireachtas oversight but, for evidential reasons, I just want another detail. You don't need to repeat the points. But, in your opinion, to what extent was the oversight during the bubble period limited, if it was, by lack of specialist knowledge among TDs and Senators ... that's, presumably, of banking and finance, etc.?
