And I note, from the auditor's website, that your collective bodies ... there's a lot of advice to the Minister, Michael Noonan, who will be in here tomorrow, on what he should put in the budget. Now does that contrast with auditing of banks in Ireland and elsewhere, which didn't see a bank crisis coming down the line? Is there a traditional view of auditing that just adds up the numbers and says "That's what they are" or one that provides the wider economic advice like you were just talking about there - there are other shopping centres, you know, a lot of the stock isn't going to sell? Which, where does the balance lie in that?
