There are 20 to 25 people in it and I believe they do a pretty good job. They do not run the Central Bank. The Central Bank has a huge staff and budget. The NTMA and NAMA have big staffs. It is a question of the relationship with the Department of Finance and these organisations in terms of oversight and advising the Minister. They are not directly running any of the operations.
