Mr. Bertie Ahern:

No, I don't ... I tried to check, actually, I tried to check before the hearing, where was the source of that, the source of that interview and then I wasn't able to get that. But if I can tell you, I can answer your question in this way: there was a lot of fairly heated discussion and meetings that I chaired about how we would implement the '99 report, and how we would get a compromise, and I know you discussed last night, of the McCarthy compromise. But I would have been very well on the side of "leave well enough alone", because there was concern in the Central Bank but at the same time, there was an impelling argument because of the difficulties that had come out of the DIRT report that we should make those changes. There was a compromise, and I accepted the compromise, so ... I don't intend to say that to you it was the cause of the issue. I don't believe I said that, and if I did say that, that's not correct.
