Mr. Wim Verbraeken:
The €1.5 billion refers to investment at group level. Most of it is not spent in Ireland, unfortunately. As indicated, we benefit to a large extent from the investment and development in KBC's other core markets in the sense that we can copy concepts or even computer code into our work. In Ireland, we have already invested more than €100 million - a number that has been cited in press statements before - and we have more plans for the coming years. Our work in Ireland is of that order of magnitude.
