Okay. I also want to put another quote from Mr. Cardiff, from his evidence to the inquiry. He said ... in referring to getting an understanding as to how Ireland might make an application or enter an IMF programme, he said, should the need arise around September 2008 ... the quote is, he had "asked a colleague to make a discreet inquiry as to how you get into these things." Were you aware in ... at the start of 2009 of that initial inquiry as far back as September 2008 from the Irish side?
