In fairness, you did make reference to a number of things. There were three different occasions where you intimated that there were political and property interests across the boards of both the regulator and the ... and the Central Bank in one part. You later talked about concealment and, granted, you wanted to correct that word. And the third issue then, where you mentioned the property and political interests at the board which, in your view, had prevented your views getting across. And I was simply putting forward to you, was it reasonable in your view to say that it was impossible to get your views to board level given your proximity to it, your seniority in the organisation?
