I want to pick up on the last point. This was described by the Minister, Taoiseach and Tánaiste with the words "seismic shift" and "game changer". This was about getting our money back. The IMF has come out very clearly today in its report to say it supports the retroactive recapitalisation of the Irish banks. It does not represent people on this island. As the Minister for Finance, can Deputy Noonan make the same statement to the committee that he will apply for the retroactive recapitalisation of Irish banks to the ESM?
