Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The national debt of Ireland is the principal financial statement of the National Treasury Management Agency.

Due to the way the legislation is structured, I have to produce a report in relation to that, as well as the audit opinion. In September, I will be publishing a chapter and I will be drawing attention to highlights in that regard. Obviously, the key one is the size of the national debt, which at the year's end stood at €233 billion.
