Thank you, Chairman. Thanks for coming in, Mr. Browne. The Anglo annual report for 2007 on page 3 shows that over the period 2002-7, profit before tax increased by 376%, earnings per share by 363% and total assets by 398%. Do you think that these levels of growth were prudent or sustainable in the context of the level of competition in the Irish lending markets during that period?
