That's not the point, Mr. Ahearne. The point is in relation to the establishment of NAMA to bring bad assets off the loan books of the banks. For example, it didn't really help Anglo Irish Bank or Irish Nationwide. Those two banks went bust. What I'm saying is you make the point that NAMA was replicated in two other European member states. With the stated purpose that it was set up for, was it successful or not?
