Sorry, Mr. Honohan said this here, that Wolfgang Schäuble had asked Mr. Lenihan to apply.

He said that he'd had a conversation himself, Mr. Honohan had, with Mr. Lenihan and that Mr. Lenihan was cross and said "I don't understand, why are they trying to rush me?" Now, do you know anything about, you know, why ... what was going on there in terms of the dynamic, in terms of feeling rushed? Was there a feeling all that time that pressure was coming? Or was it that the ECB, and others, were losing patience, that Ireland was not, if you like, getting on with the task? Even ... I know that the talks were going on but obviously there was pressure coming on.
