I have a very quick question and I am sorry to pester Mr. O'Connor but it refers back to the banks. In Deputy Michael Noonan's reply to the parliamentary question - I have it to hand - he referred to Permanent TSB and stated that it had 466 units it had repossessed in stock and that 422 were vacant. Mr. O'Connor has stated the units he is looking at primarily involve AIB and Bank of Ireland. Does this mean he has not been assessing these 422 vacant units? Are they part of what he has been considering or did I hear him right when he said those figures may not be correct?
