Ms. Nolan, you deal in your statement with the recapitalisation of the banks and the dealing between the banks and the Department. Now, at one stage Bank of Ireland told you that it needed €2 billion. It finished up getting multiples of that. Allied Irish Bank said it didn't need as much support as both Anglo and Bank of Ireland and it finished up getting €21 billion. Were the banks straight with the Department or were they covering up or were they even lying some of them?
