Thank you, Chairman. Good afternoon. Firstly, Deputy Rabbitte, in relation to your opening statement on page 2, you said "On the basis of evidence heard to date by this Inquiry it appears that a small number of influential individuals in the Financial Sector had more influence with government than did Dáil Eireann". Briefly, can you point to what evidence you're referring to and, indeed, to the individuals or the types of individuals?
