Mr. John Moran:
At that stage, we will have to have a sense of it. The analysis will be effectively the same as that determining whether we should sell portions of AIB. If we were allowing AIB to raise capital in the private markets, that would have the effect of diluting our share in the bank. However, there would be more money in AIB because there would be more capital. Therefore, the bank would essentially have grown larger. We would just not own all of it.
