Okay. Mr. Considine, in March 2006 the Revenue Commissioners wanted to impose stamp duty on contracts for difference and there was strong lobbying by stockbrokers and interested parties against that. In a book, The Fitzpatrick Tapes,by Tom Lyons and Brian Carey, it was said that on 22 March you were emailed by Davy Stockbrokers significant ... heavily lobbying against this, that PricewaterhouseCoopers also lobbied and that by 30 March, under the Minister, Mr. Cowen, this proposal was dropped. Do you remember this?
