I believe it is a clever answer. That is a judgment call by all of us. The entire sentence, which refers to how deposits "declined rapidly" from the peak in 2008 to a low figure of £191 million in 2012, gives us a certain impression. We have information that the post-bailout peak was in 2010, which suggests that what Mr. Byrne is stating to this committee is not true. Irish taxpayers pumped billions of euro into AIB in 2010, which makes it an important year. The information we have is also held by Mr. Byrne. He told me in response to my first question that he read Colm Keena's article.
