I understand. My final question relates to an article I have just found from the Irish Examineron Monday, 2 November 2009, which was written by Seán Connolly, the political correspondent. The article was on a war of words that erupted between Mr. McWilliams and the late Minister, Brian Lenihan. It was a year and a bit after the guarantee. I refer to a specific quote from the late Brian Lenihan who said, "He contacted me through my brother, Conor, and said he wanted to meet me and I happened to be meeting another friend in that part of the city that evening who lived further up the road". That is a direct contradiction of the outline of the initial contact Mr. McWilliams had.
