Sorry, just to interrupt you for a second, Mr. Considine. Just set aside the Central Bank for a moment, because I'm going to come back to that. I'm actually talking here about the Department of Finance and, if you like, your ... your relationship with the Minister, and how it arose that during that period of time, you know, tax breaks were introduced, serious tax reductions were made at each budget. People would say that the policies that emerged during that period of time contributed to the economy overheating. And I'm asking you whether you believe you made a contribution to that or not. "You", meaning your Department, not you personally.
