Much of the technical ground has been covered. I have a general question about Brexit. Since the Brexit vote took place, what impact has there been on funds coming in to Ireland? How does the witness perceive that whole area? Are there opportunities to expand? What were the witness's interactions with the Central Bank in terms of authorising various funds to work in Ireland? Northern Trust operates in Limerick, where I am from. It is a huge employer in a growth area, and is a great company. It is an employer I know which is working in that space. What is the witness's perspective on Brexit?
