Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation

Mr. Des Carville:
In profit and loss terms, I guess it almost the difference between a debit and a credit. The €280 million which we received last year is a receipt from the special liquidators to the State as an unsecured creditor. We are an unsecured creditor to about €1.1 billion or €1.2 billion. The special liquidators have stated they intend or that their expectation is that unsecured creditor claims which are validly accepted by the special liquidators should expect to receive between 75% and 100% of that claim in due course. This is subject to a whole raft of assumptions behind that.
