Mr. John Moran:

As I said earlier, we have a risk register in the Department. We look at many different risks. These situations could develop. We are comforted somewhat by the issues we saw when a banking crisis developed in Cyprus. We did not see any impact from that in Ireland so I believe the vulnerability of our system to even external shocks is much less than it might have been at the time that letter was written.
