On page 27, there is what looks like a simple chart with small figures but there is a lot behind it. Is it correct that €4.7 billion was invested in Bank of Ireland, the State has already received €4.2 billion in return and the value of the investment at the end of the year was €700 million? That would indicate that in respect of the €4.7 billion the State invested in Bank of Ireland, between cash received and the balance of the 13.9% of shares at the end of December, the State and the taxpayer are slightly up.
