I'll just clarify the situation. As I said, Deputy, the processes around how the ... how it was arrived at and the exploration of that are one thing but, as members would have been briefed, as they are briefed before each and every one of those sessions, if somebody coming in before this inquiry has signed a confidentiality agreement, and there are other aspects as well as this with the Central Bank and there is section 33AK issues with regard to NAMA and whatever, the witness can't be asked to actually violate that agreement because they would be creating an offence inside in this room and I can't facilitate a situation where I'm actually aiding and abetting somebody to create what could be possibly a criminal act.
