I, somehow ... I don't like the ... maybe peoples' recall of these things are somewhat different, but I can't think that there was that type of activity going on with the Central Bank. But I'm sure the Governor and maybe other members of the Central Bank board can speak for themselves. But certainly, nothing like that ever came next or near my attention.

In fact, like the only kind .. of the first time I heard of it when you were questioning one of those officials, I think, quite recently. I had never heard it ever mentioned before by anybody. And, by the way, you must remember in Ireland nowadays if someone has a bad thought at the bottom of Grafton Street before they got to Stephen's Green, you'd read about it in the Sunday newspapers.
