Thank you. Now in your witness statement, you say that it was also made clear by the ECB that Ireland and any other eurozone country with banking difficulties should do whatever was required to save their own banks. When did you become aware of that and did you follow up with the Department of Foreign Affairs to advance our position or, I suppose, try to "re-Europeanise" the banking crisis rather than that "You're on your own" message?
