The point was made or suggested that only 100 survived within the book of Ulster Bank, but of the 2,100 some 100 survived within the bank's book and 2,000 were transferred out, dissolved, put into receivership or into liquidation. Can we have a breakdown of that? I accept that Mr. Blair does not know what happened to them after he got rid of them, but how many were not even sold to vulture funds and how many were sold to vulture funds? If he has any knowledge of what happened after they went to vulture funds that would be great, but I am presuming he probably does not know.
