I have not seen that report so I do not know what recommendations they have made. I can say there are no proposals being considered by Government at this time to raise the salary cap in regard to State-owned banks. I point out, though, that there were essentially two bank bailouts that occurred in this country about ten years ago. One was the bailout of Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide, and we will never recover that money. The second was when the Deputy and I were in government together, when we took a decision to rescue AIB and Bank of Ireland. I am now absolutely confident we will recover all of the money from both of those banks.
