-----in Greece recently, in terms of liquidity and capacity for people to draw money from banks and do business. So we took the view, "This is a real emergency here." These are the things that we looked for. There were elements of the guarantee, the buffers that were in there, as I've said; the return of the Minister within three days with the new regulatory powers and all the rest of it. Fine Gael took a view, as a political party, "What are you going to do here? This is a really serious situation." So, we supported the guarantee; obviously the Labour Party took a different view and were quite entitled to do so.
