Mr. Niall Cody:
We would be interested in talking to anybody who has data. The question has never arisen of somebody telling us they have really interesting stuff that it would be in our interest to analyse. In respect of HSBC Swiss, it was not a location of normal usage by Irish residents because, as the Deputy said, the locations that tended to be used were much closer to us. It is interesting that when countries or administrations are approached, the parties who have this information have made their own analysis and said there is something of interest arising. The challenge would be for me and my colleagues on the board, if somebody approached us saying they had serious information, we would have to seriously consider what we would do. I have no idea what we would do.
