Mr. Seamus Boland:

I am not aware that they have, but they are talking to us and they are interested in the concept. Many of the individual credit unions see it as a major bonus in their region. However, I do not know that they have come out in a joint way in any way as yet, unless I am mistaken. I do not think they have done so, but individuals have. This is part of the exploration. When we get the next stage of this exploration in process, it is important that what we design in an Irish context, which is not necessarily exactly the same as the German system, does not in any way inhibit the credit union. The post office system could be a beneficiary as well.
