In addition to the point Deputy Shane Ross has made, it is very important that HSBC send the person who could most usefully address the committee. If the appropriate person is based in London, not Dublin, that is the person who should come before us. What struck me was that the Westminster public accounts committee had HSBC personnel before it recently and I know that they received a considerable dressing down from Margaret Hodge MP, the Chairman's opposite number in London. I want that letter to be written. In addition, it is really important that HSBC send somebody who could usefully address the questions we want to ask.
