I appreciate the background. Obviously, the Chairman has allowed Mr. Blair time to put all that on record. Let me return to my original question again. There were 2,141 businesses involved. They had debts in excess of €1 million up to €25 million. We are talking about the local publican or corner shop owner in Mayo or Donegal, for example. We are talking about some household businesses with whose names we would all be familiar. They transferred into the global restructuring group but Mr. Blair said relatively few were transferred back. Would I be correct in saying six came out of the process?
