I know that could happen. I have asked the question twice about lobbying. Is there much lobbying from the banks and the banking sector in general? For example, does the Banking and Payments Federation Ireland, BPFI, lobby the Department on who should or should not be doing home lending over years? How have we arrived at a position where €17 billion cannot be touched and credit unions can only loan up to a maximum of 3% of the mortgage market? How have we arrived at that?
