Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:
On the loans MFI makes available, we would work on a very high failure rate for companies in MFI because they are people taking risks and they are small companies. We would not regard that as a high failure rate. The purpose of it is to encourage companies. If companies fail, quite often they pick themselves up and start again, and that is what we would wish to see happen.
