Ms Ann Nolan:

Insider trading is in no way appropriate. A number of changes to the procedures are upcoming. We are examining the market abuse directives. We expect there to be changes in the next 12 to 18 months in that regard to bring the entire matter under the Central Bank rather than the Stock Exchange, which would be more appropriate than the current arrangements. We are working on that front.
