Let us consider the portfolio of properties, the types of loan and the likes of securities. Let us consider the Northern Ireland market vis-à-visthe market in Ireland, the level of foreign direct investment and the potential for retail. Much of it is retail-based here and in Northern Ireland. There are hotels as well. In 2014 there was an uptake in that market and in leisure activity, as well as in urban renewal and house regeneration. The United Kingdom market was rather buoyant because the country was coming into an election period as well.
