I welcome Mr. Carswell. I wish to clarify something. Page 218 of Mr. Carswell's book refers to the night of the guarantee, when bankers from AIB and Bank of Ireland were in the discussions. Mr. Carswell said that the two banks thought the money would only be needed for the short term as the bankers were led to believe from the discussions that night that Anglo Irish Bank would be nationalised the following weekend. Who led them to believe that Anglo Irish Bank would be nationalised the following weekend?
