No, there wasn't time. The Dáil was scheduled ... this was ... I mean, the reason I was late for the Dáil was we were re-doing a page of the script. You'll have remembered that I was rather breathless when I got across. To get across to you, I had to run but I would say that it was down-to-the-line stuff, you know but that's the way a lot of the bailout had been. It's very difficult to get decisions from the superiors of the troika and they tend either for reasons of work or for reasons of expediency or for reasons of pressure quite frequently to leave decisions to the last minute.
