I take that point.

I will begin by responding to Deputy Barry. He talked about betrayal. He thought it was a scandal on the way out. However, he was not happy when these banks were here. He cannot have it both ways. I do not recall ever hearing him utter a word recognising the role of these banks as employers, investors or lenders. Now that they are out the door, to use his language, he describes it as scandalous and a betrayal. If he feels like that now, why did he not utter some recognition of the role they played when they were here-----
