I now call the committee back into public session. Is that agreed? Agreed. And we move on now to session 5 of today's hearings with Mr. David Gantly, former head of group treasury at ILP-Permanent TSB. The Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis is now resuming in public session and can I ask members and those in the public Gallery to ensure that their mobile devices are switched off.

This evening we will focus ... the focus of the inquiry is on Irish Life and Permanent-Permanent TSB and at this session we will hear from Mr. David Gantly, former head of group treasury, Irish Life and Permanent-Permanent TSB. Mr. Gantly joined the then Irish Permanent Building Society in 1994 as chief dealer in their treasury department. He was appointed group treasurer of Irish Life and Permanent in 2000 and held the post until he left the group in early 2009. Mr. Gantly, you're very welcome before the committee this evening.
