Mr. Frank O'Connor:

No problem. The Deputy is correct. It was €2.5 billion in 2011 and €3.9 billion at the end of 2020 for the account he mentioned. As of the end of August or September, it is approximately €4.3 billion, which is continued growth. We have seen growth, just like the whole savings market right across the banking sector. We have been no different. We have not been an outlier and our share of the market has stayed pretty constant. In fact, looking ahead, despite the reopening of the economy, and one would expect some of those savings to convert into spending, we still see a little flow continuing. For our own assumptions next year, we will have some small growth but, naturally, while recognising the economy is reopening and one might have a flow back out. Currently, it is €4.3 billion and I would expect it to marginally rise next year.
