Last question, then, Mr. Corrigan, is this. You were close to the National Pensions Reserve Fund for a long period of your working life and the legislation in 2009 was changed allowing the Government to direct funds to Bank of Ireland and Allied Irish Bank. You mentioned this in your statement, €7 billion. Can I ask you, you had been in charge, you had been seeing how these funds had been managed on behalf of the Irish people, what was your feeling about this particular change and to see this kind of money from the pension fund going into the banks, at the time?
