Mr. Dermot McCarthy:

Sorry, Senator, just to be clear, the text was in draft being worked on by officials from a number of Departments. Elements of it had been submitted to Government. In fact, I think, perhaps in three instalments, the text was considered formally by the Government. So while that process was under way within the Irish system, the text wasn't shared with the international parties. That happened, I think, in the couple of days coming up to publication, which, from memory, was, I think, 24 November.
