Ms Mary Harney:

The answer to the last question is "No". My memory is that we spent the whole ... I think it was morning and afternoon, I can't quite remember the time of the day, it was a Sunday. We were discussing the Estimates. That was always a long meeting and always a difficult meeting because there was friction and tension between, say, normally the Finance Ministry and other line Ministers. So there was a long discussion. And my memory is that at the end of that meeting that the Minister for Finance said there's a serious situation emerging in the banks. I don't think the word "guarantee" or anything like that was mentioned. That's the best of my recollection.
