I thank Mr. McDonagh. Before I call Deputy Bernard J. Durkan, I wish to follow up on one of the points made by Deputy Barry Cowen. Regarding the special companies NAMA has set up, it has invested approximately €160 million and the properties have been leased to voluntary bodies and so forth. Is the funding mechanism used off the State's balance sheet?
