Thank you, Chairman, and thank you, Mr. Grimes. You're very welcome. You mentioned Lehman Brothers earlier on and I was just wondering is it fair to say that the Irish authorities - the Department of Finance, the Central Bank, the Financial Regulator - did not anticipate the fall of Lehman Brothers or a Lehman-style crisis?
