They do not want to release it because they think it would affect the stability of the banking system in Ireland, which is a fairly strong statement. It is in reply to a question from Martina Anderson, the Sinn Féin MEP. It is a fairly strong statement to the effect that the dangers that existed in 2010, which were obviously referred to by Jean-Claude Trichet in a letter to Brian Lenihan, remain. Otherwise, he would release the letter. If it were all over it would be historic.
