I want to take up that point. Is it not the case that we cannot appoint public interest directors because the legislation that allowed us to appoint them was tied in with the banks having funds guaranteed by the State, which is no longer the case so the option of public interest directors is no longer available, and that because the Government did not make appointments when other resignations occurred, we simply will not have the option anymore and the Minister will be appointing directors?
