Ulster Bank made it clear that fewer people would have come out of the GRG than would have done in Britain and they gave reasons for that. I will focus on the number. When Ulster Bank representatives were before the committee, I asked Mr. Andrew Blair if the number was six and he said it was more than that. I asked him if it was seven and he said: "It is more than six or seven." He also gave a commitment to this committee as follows: "Subsequent to the meeting, I could certainly provide the Deputy with a number." I then asked him if it was fewer than 100 and he said that was the case. In fairness to Ulster Bank, subsequent to the meeting, it was supposed to give us the number, but it has told us that approximately 100 of these cases returned to the bank. It has not given us the number, but an approximation so perhaps that is something we should follow up with the bank. Ms Lavin is claiming that the number is as low as six. Can she enlighten the committee on that?
