I thank Mr. Cross for that. What I am very concerned about is that because this is complex, it can go over people's heads. It is a really bad mark against this State to be linked to this in any way. It was a fraud involving billions of euro. Clearly, Mr. Cross cannot comment specifically on individual cases, but I would like to see something very clear coming from the Central Bank - a statement in whatever form is permissible - that the matter is going to be pursued and that we cannot have such a thing happen again. As we both agree, it is not a victimless crime. What happened is absolutely outrageous.
