I'll bring you back in again to wrap up, Deputy Murphy. If I can just deal with a few matters myself with you, Mr. Ahearne. In your statement, you say that the merger of Anglo and INBS and the transfer of deposits was a reasonable approach agreed with the troika. Then you, kind of, go on to say, "Ironically, I had identified as an option the transfer of deposits from Anglo to AIB in a newspaper article I wrote in January 2009." Maybe if I could just tease out some aspects of that with you please, Mr. Ahearne, in that do you think the troika was a material motivating factor in the merger of Anglo and INBS and the resultant deposit transfers?
