Mr. Conor O'Kelly:

I assure the Chairman that we do that every day. We focus exactly on that. We are looking at ways to more efficiently manage the national debt, which is our mandate. That is all we do every day. We have 430 people, a huge proportion of whom are working in that area. We do it with oversight from our board. We challenge ourselves and give five-year projections to the Department of Finance twice a year as to what we think the interest rate bill will be and we measure ourselves against that. So, of course we understand that. The Chairman will see from the annual report the refinancing of the IMF loans, which we managed to do last year. We completed €18 billion in refinancing. The total saving over the four-year lifetime of that loan was approximately €1.5 billion. We are very aware of the impact of every bit of saving that we can possibly do and we are open to any suggestion any member of the committee might have as to how we might do it better.
