That is fine. It takes me back to my question. How many basket cases does the Central Bank have? How many credit unions is the Central Bank concerned about? Ms McKiernan did not give us figures. She says it generally in terms of the credit unions. She says that some require more attention than others and that some are not observing regulation. It is only fair to those doing their business properly that she indicate the number about which she is concerned.

I think the members need to know. I heard the witness's answers before. Unless she has the figures, I do not think there is any point in pressing her on those.
