Mr. Alan Merriman:

Okay, so let me deal with Ms Tinney's observations first and then with Mr. Murphy's. In relation to Ethna's - and I understand she is here later this morning and, therefore, you can ask her directly - but I am guessing that ... she started with EBS I think in the year 2000, so five years prior to my own joining the society. So I would suggest that perhaps she is talking about the step up into development finance in 2001 ... was new at that point in time and that was recently after her joining the society. And, you know, as I said, the development finance book in EBS started in 2001 and was stepped up to €500 million by the end of 2008 so that is an eight-year period. In relation to Mr. Murphy's comment-----
