Mr. David Doyle:

I accept what Kevin is saying, that the Taoiseach put it on the table early on. It's ... it's impossible to recall with clarity a meeting that happened, whatever it is, seven years ago now, but I accept his word that the Taoiseach put it on the table. But my recollection is the Taoiseach was a pretty direct character. He'd put it on the table and say, "Now, let's examine this." I don't recall ... like, if he had come in and said, "Let's examine this. We're not going to discuss anything else. Let's just do it", I'd accept that that wouldn't have been the appropriate position, but that's not what he did. He put it on the table and the debate went on for about six or seven hours after that.
