We can work with the Central Bank to ensure the targets which have been set will be reached. The targets for 2014 are reasonably good. I would be concerned if there were to be any slippage in respect of these targets. We will monitor matters very carefully, both in association with the Central Bank and via my Department's own mechanisms, in order to ensure the targets are met.
