It is really important. This is an issue that has understandably angered people, in my opinion. If there is any doubt that maybe that would be the case, that would add very strongly to the argument. I totally take Mr. Madouros's point and thank him, if he could do that.

I also want to draw attention to something that was big in the news today, and that is in relation to the eight companies that the State invests in through the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, ISIF, that have links to illegal Israeli settlements. This was something that was queried when the Central Bank was in front of the finance committee recently. I am wondering can we ascertain do they know whether ISIF is holding any of these Israeli war bonds because what we had queried was whether they are currently investing in any of these war bonds or, if Mr. Madouros is not sure, if he could commit to finding out for the committee.
