Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Certainly, we did use it ourselves from time to time. Where we particularly saw value in it was in regard to section 38 and section 39 organisations and having an understanding of what was happening in that sector. However, it is a policy matter it is not appropriate for me to get drawn into, so I did not, and do not, express a view on whether it should have been retained.
