Mr. John Corrigan:

That would be the ultimate reflection of the normalisation of the State’s capital market transactions. It is usually a combination of what I call syndicated transactions, which are large transactions that are usually used to launch a new bond issue, and bond auctions, through which subsequent issues are sold off. The Deputy is correct that the plan is to get back to monthly bond auctions.
