Mr. John Corrigan:

I will make one further point. While I do not have an issue with what Deputy Nolan has said, it is not strictly accurate to say State Street has admitted fraud. We believe this to be fraudulent behaviour. In our conversations - I am speaking for the record here - the company has not admitted fraud to us. As I stated, we have reserved our position on this matter. As far as we are concerned, the behaviour was fraudulent.
