Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I apologise; the page numbering is different. It is page 3 on the committee's numbering system. That diagram actually is the composition of the gross national debt each year, showing the breakdown between medium and long-term debt, short-term debt and other debt. There is relatively little short-term debt at present. Were one to look back to 2008 or 2009, short-term debt was a higher proportion of the overall debt at that stage.
