Brian Stanley: The optimum is 50%. If a bank or credit union has €100 million, it can afford to lend €50 million because even if every debtor defaulted, it would still have €50 million. Look at what the banks did in the 2000s, for God's sake. The credit unions did not do it, by and large. The credit unions were stable.

Brian Stanley: It is just under 100%. For credit unions, it is 26%. The figure I had for last year was 27% but we will settle on 26%, which is about a quarter. We are talking about viability. There is a pot of money there of €17 billion. I am not advocating crazy lending like the banks did in the 2000s. Around 50% would seem like a safe bet because the assets would be there even if everybody...

How have we arrived at a position where €17 billion cannot be touched and credit...
