Okay and you were never given that detail. And then, just about mistakes that you think were made by your successors in government in the Department in Finance ... if you thought any mistakes were made? Because again, from that same interview in the Sunday Independentin November 2014, when you were asked about the pressure that Jean-Claude Trichet was putting on Brian Lenihan, you said:
The reality in life is when you're around a long time, maybe the mistakes you make the first time, when you do them about the sixth time [you don't do it again]. When you're doing it the first time, it's not so easy. But that's what's called, in inverted commas, experience.
Did you feel that Brian Lenihan did not have enough experience to be the Minister for Finance and if mistakes were made, what mistakes were they?
