Can I ask as well that ... there was a very dramatic moment in Ireland on 18 November, the day before you wrote the letter of 19 November were Governor of the Irish Central Bank, Professor Patrick Honohan, from Frankfurt rang our national broadcaster, RTE radio, to basically signal that Ireland would be going into a bailout. He was to attend a meeting of the governors, your ECB governors that morning, that day. Did you instruct him to effectively go on Irish airwaves to say that Ireland would be going into a bailout?
