Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh, agus fáilte roimh an beirt agaibh.

I'm gonna, Mr. Aynsley, just focus in on ... just that statement that you give on page 15 ... the shock that you referred to in your statement in January 2013 when you received the e-mail memorandum from one of your direct reports. You go on to say about the Department of Finance official was opposed to the sale of a major asset to a named Irish businessman or his company and then go on to, as Deputy McGrath has questioned, about the fact that they would prefer if another sale wouldn't take place to the same Irish businessman or his company and would rather €100 million less from another party. The e-mails that you're referring to, are they e-mails that you have ... that are with the special liquidator ... are they e-mails directly from the Department of Finance or e-mails from an official within the bank who reports to you that recounts this story?
