Mr. John Hogan:
The mechanism around enforcement is with the Central Bank there. There is another aspect which is interesting. It is not only national but also transnational in that at EU level on 7 March, member states were advised that the European Commission had launched its whistleblower tool so if individuals identified that there are challenges and issues there, that can be raised there. There are various mechanisms where the correct assessment of this would be monitored and enforced.
