I welcome Mr. Byrne and Ms Dooley and thank them for attending the meeting. Deputy Pearse Doherty said that the peak in those offshore accounts went up from €2.4 billion in 2008 to €2.8 billion by 2010. Would it be fair to say that at the time the banks would have been scrambling for deposits, the bank would have to get deposits from wherever it could and that it still kept getting deposits into those offshore accounts?
