Mr. Jim Brown:

As I mentioned in my opening statement, we have a balance sheet fund of €25 billion of deposits as against just under €28 billion of loans, but we have surplus funds available in Northern Ireland and we fund from the wholesale markets in the Republic as well, through securitisation and also through inter-group lines from RBS.
