Thank you, Chairman. Tánaiste and Mr. Rabbitte, you're welcome. It's a question for both and I'm going to start with yourself, Tánaiste, please. During the period of '02 to '07, what concerns did you have about the rate of growth of the domestic Irish banks? In evidence we've received to date, AIB, Bank of Ireland and Anglo from '01 to '08, the period in question, grew in the region of 30% compound per annum.
