I would appreciate if Mr. McCarthy would come back to me with that figure. We need to know what impact the enormous flood of emigration is having on the unemployment statistics. Is it fair to say that if the estimated 68,000 who have left had not done so, we would be looking at a significantly higher unemployment rate than what we have now or even what we had two years ago?
