Marc MacSharry: I don't want to go offline here because what I am trying to get to is, you know, when ye sat down to decide that employee or director X or managing director or everyone else was going to get salary thing, what criteria did you employ?

Marc MacSharry: Did this in your opinion lead to levels ... these growth levels? Did it lead to ... did it affect credit quality and lending standards in any way to your mind?
