Can I finally ask you in this question here and it's just referencing the Druids Glen meeting which you facilitated on 23 July? Were you aware, because you asked the questions, that there was no problems within the bank at that time in terms of challenging the conspiracy theory that some may have? So, were you aware that at the end of April, Seánie FitzPatrick had approached John Hurley looking for a guarantee for his bank - as has been suggested in evidence or given in evidence by Kevin Cardiff? Were you aware that a week later a DD, which Kevin Cardiff described as a person of substantial presence in the financial sector, also made such an approach? Were you aware that, at the very least, Seánie FitzPatrick was looking for a guarantee months before you arranged for him to meet with the Taoiseach of the country and spend a bit of time on the golf course and have that private meeting and dinner afterwards?
