I am glad I am sitting, as €35 billion went into a speculators' bank, as has been acknowledged. It was there for speculation. We nationalised that bank and we are here in 2017 looking at a process of liquidation of what it became when it metamorphosed. Is that correct? How many people have died on our streets since August? Could any of the gentlemen in suits tell us how many people have died on our streets since August? No. That is okay. Let us go back to value for money in the context of not knowing how many people have died on the streets. The witnesses are aware of the housing crisis.
