Mr. John Corrigan:

No, just to be clear, as the Comptroller and Auditor General reflected in his opening statement, the portfolio within the NPRF is divided between a discretionary portfolio, which is under the direct control of the board of the fund and for which the board takes responsibility, and a directed portfolio, which was a public policy decision on the direction of the Minister for Finance. The management of the relationship in respect of that shareholding resides in the Department and is the responsibility of the shareholder management unit of the Department.
