There would be a systemic mark on Ireland which would have made funding much more difficult immediately, even with a guarantee. There is no doubt about that in my view. But the market would, I think, then have said there is a problem in Ireland and they are addressing the core of it, there would have been a distinction made in due course. It may have taken a number of weeks for that distinction to be accepted by the market.
