Mr. Joe Walsh:
The answer to that is "No". The current Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, made it clear through a parliamentary question recently that his modus operandi for communicating with the board of Bank of Ireland was through the chairman and chief executive. Any views we have are conveyed to the Minister through the chairman of the board.
