Of course, but we are not talking about modest bonuses here. We are talking about the pay cap at the upper end. At the banking inquiry we had guys in who had salaries and bonuses worth €6 million and €7 million per year. The public is interested to know if we are heading down that route. In terms of the timeline, I know that our guests cannot say anything definite because it is a matter for the Government. Has the report been given to the Government? Has it been sent to the Minister for a decision?
