I established at the very start, to be fair to Mr. Byrne and other AIB staff and board members, that Mr. Byrne was not involved at the time in question. It is important to say that again. Mr. Byrne has a responsibility to answer on behalf of AIB past and present. I have time for Mr. David Duffy, who drew a handsome salary from the State for many years, but he is refusing to come here to answer questions about what happened during this time when he was in charge of AIB. Therefore, we have to put these questions to Mr. Byrne who has a responsibility to answer for others. Will he find out whether a subsidiary of AIB plc was facilitating legacy customers after the bailout? Is that something Mr. Byrne can find out?
