Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

They are not meant to be in deficit. We have drawn attention in the audit certificate for several years past where any material deficit emerges. A small deficit which is frictional from one year to the next would not be of concern but a number have built up cumulated deficits to which we have drawn attention.
