Matt Carthy: I am just trying to find the timeframe between both of these things. The Central Bank report was the initial finding that there was something amiss in terms of the Anglo Irish Bank sale. It was quite a bit before 8 March last. I am just trying to find the rationale for waiting until 8 March to make the decision to remove Davy as the primary dealer.

Matt Carthy: I thank Mr. O'Kelly. I have a couple of minor questions. I will be as brief as possible. Does the NTMA have an overall cost yet for the Moriarty tribunal?

Matt Carthy: Maybe there is a lesson there for some other bodies that come before us. It would be appreciated if Mr. Breen would give us a sense in writing at a later stage how much the tribunal has cost to date.
