Okay. I want to ask ... to turn now, maybe, to the area ... particularly the area surrounding the guarantee itself, and ask you if you had any interaction with the late Mr. Lenihan or Mr. Cowen between the end of 2007 and the introduction of the guarantee. We've had evidence from a number of witnesses at this stage that there was lobbying of various natures as to a political guarantee or, you know, ultimately, the blanket guarantee that was introduced. Would you have had any interaction along those lines in that period?
