I thank the Chairman for raising this issue, as he regularly does. I know it has been an issue that has caused a lot of difficulty for the people on whose behalf the Chairman has raised it. He is aware that I cannot tell AIB to act in a certain way in relation to this matter. It goes back to the issue of commercial independence that I have to respect and I have already covered with the committee. However, as I always do when the Chairman raises the issue with me, I will ask for a report on the matter and I will share it with the committee, but I cannot tell AIB what to do.
