Thank you very much, Mr. Doyle, for your opening statement. Just one question before I bring in Deputy O'Donnell. At any time from 2006 onwards, when you became the general secretary, did you ... under your tenure as Secretary General at the Department of Finance, carry out any in-house examination of the theory that there would be a soft landing? Not external reviews of other material, was there any examination carried out by the Department of Finance to examine the possibility that there would be a soft landing?
