I will ask Mr. Kissane about the role of the Financial Services Ombudsman, FSO. We have had different key people within that organisation over a period and addressing the type of scandal that Mr. Thomas Ryan mentioned with regard to his own case. Does Mr. Kissane think the Financial Services Ombudsman should deal with certain complaints at this point? There is a stock response from the FSO that as long as this examination is ongoing, then the option of the FSO intervening is shut off for the victims of the tracker mortgage scandal. What is Mr. Kissane's view and does he have clients that raise that issue with him? Our other guests may wish to answer too.
