Thank you, Chairman, and welcome to our two visitors. Just taking up Senator O'Keeffe's point and it's covered in paragraph 9.8 of Mr. McCague's presentation and it says that "the Taoiseach asked Mr. Hurley on a number of occasions for his advice as to whether, in the Central Bank's view, Anglo was insolvent". Didn't the Taoiseach ask the wrong person? That was Mr. Neary's responsibility, he was micro and Mr. Hurley was macro.
