While we were doing our many meetings, we had the pillar banks in and the following week we had Sparkassen, Irish Rural Link and the credit unions in to look specifically at what they could bring to the market. Mr. Maye is very supportive of the German...

I understand the staff there are extremely busy and this is causing huge distress. Can the...
