Okay. I do want to change now, Mr. Farrell, and just refer to your opening statement. You described in it the period 2004 to 2008 as a period of rapid, but, as subsequently proved, unsustainable economic growth. To what extent do you now consider that the banking sector has borne any responsibility for the unsustainable element of economic growth in that particular period?
