Mr. Bernard Byrne:

On the question of financing affordable housing, from our point of view, so long as the aspects from a banking point of view are supported, the answer is yes. We will provide mortgages as well to those customers on the other side. It improves their affordability so we can see the off-take market in respect of it as well.
