Mr. John McCarthy:
By far, the main borrower is central government. There are some local authority and semi-State borrowings. There are borrowings from individuals, such as these State savings products that the NTMA runs. Then we have a whole host of other bodies, and there are literally hundreds within the general government sector, but they are relatively small.
