In the article you contributed to the book on Brian Lenihan: In Calm and Crisis, on page 25, you mention that Mr. Lenihan discovered that senior people at the ECB were briefing market sources that the ECB was considering the withdrawal of financial support to Irish banks.

What was he referring to there and what impact did this briefing have, which Governor Honohan has acknowledged, when he came before the committee here, did happen?
