I am moving to questions. The lead questioners today will be Deputy John Paul Phelan and Deputy Pearse Doherty with 20 minutes each. Other questioners will have eight minutes after that. I will set the scene. Mr. McWilliams, you mentioned the housing price bubble in your opening address this morning. Given that you were warning for such an extensive period of time, was there any point prior to 2007 when you thought that your warnings may have been mistaken?
