I want to ask about relative positioning versus other countries from an investor perspective. Mr. O'Connor mentioned in his statement that just five years ago Ireland was rated sub-investment grade by Moody's. I recall back in 2009 and 2010 that the perspective taken by investors on Ireland was something akin to semi-developed South American democracies. Will Mr. O'Connor give us a relative context? He has put out there how we are now comparable to France and Belgium. Where were we five years ago?
