Mr. Mitchell answered a question earlier about the tracker portability product. He indicated that only 97 customers had moved to it. I know that it is a relatively new product and it is the most attractive product, of which I am aware in the market. I think Permanent TSB should put some money behind marketing it. It has 57,000 customers with tracker mortgages, many of whom are living in unsuitable homes - they might have young families who are still living in apartments. Permanent TSB is willing to offer the product to people in negative equity in certain circumstances.
