Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Ajai Chopra:
Look, the awareness of ... that a letter had been sent was just ... you know, was mentioned by the Irish authorities that they had received some ... a letter of this sort. No details were mentioned. Obviously, the ECB staff would have known the details. They would have been the ones drafting it for President Trichet. So we were aware and we were aware of its broad direction, but we were not aware of anything more than that. This was a confidential letter between two parties and it was not shared. You know, it was not revealed. It was not given to us by the ECB staff so there was ... there was no ... no discussion of it involving the external partners.
