I now propose as we are back in full quorum, that the committee of inquiry will now resume public session. Is that agreed? And can I ask members and those in the public Gallery to ensure that the mobile devices are switched off? Our focus today is on the Irish Nationwide Building Society, and we continue our hearings this afternoon with Mr. Michael Walsh, former non-executive chairman of INBS. Michael Walsh was a non-executive director of INBS from 1995 and non-executive chairman from 2001 to 2009. Mr. Walsh was also professor of banking and finance at UCD and managing director of the corporate finance business at the stockbroking firm, NCB Group Limited. Mr. Walsh, you are welcome before the committee this afternoon.
