Yes, we would have sought the meeting because we went and visited both Anglo Irish, Bank of Ireland, AIB - I attended at those three myself. And the purpose of the meeting was to have a discussion about the general economic situation and to inquire about the healthy state, or otherwise, of the banks. And that's why I said that, in the case of Anglo Irish, a presentation was given that was to the point that Anglo was a model of a bank that would emerge from the recession as the strongest of any bank, that all of the loans approved - both in America, in Ireland and in Great Britain - were approved by the people who sat at the other side of the table. I recall Mr. Drumm being there; I recall Mr. McAteer being there; I recall Mr. Moran being there; I think, to be honest with you, that there were seven or eight on that side. I don't recall the other names. I can have them sent into the Chairman, if you wish.
