Okay. So, as you said earlier, the guarantee was in the ether in terms of probabilities or whatever. We'll see what the weight of that actually is but we know, or it has been presented here from testimony, that the issue of including or not including Anglo in the guarantee is a very significant discussion on the night. The Minister for Finance and the Taoiseach have different views on it and, in fact, the room seems to be split very much on this. And the issue of nationalising or not nationalising Anglo is, by the testimony so far, whether it was the biggest issue or not on the night, was certainly ... certainly a live issue inside in the room. Did the Taoiseach at any time discuss either the inclusion of Anglo in the guarantee or not or the nationalisation of Anglo or not?
