Okay. To be honest, my main line of questioning would have been to get this further detail concerning this context. I fully understand the witnesses are coming before this committee and saying clearly that there are no biases and that the bank has the requisite structures and policies in place in this regard. It is not that I am suggesting, in any way, shape or form, that this is not exactly what the situation is, but of course it is of interest to us as a committee, in the context of representatives of AIB being before us, to hear this analysis in terms of the breakdown concerning the number of people who are involved to a significant extent in organisations that might be sponsored by the bank. I refer to the impact in this regard and having this information broken down in respect of the number of people who get these write-downs. Am I right in saying there is no way the witnesses can give me that information? Is there any kind of breakdown in this regard we could be given, even at a later date, if it is not available now?
