Yes, but that’s not the question I’m asking about the promissory note at all at all. I’m asking you about your public statement, which was I think in Washington, and you did an interview with RTE and all of this is on the record, where you talked about that the banks are no longer normal entities and more like warehouses, in that context you would be going to Ireland’s European partners to propose significant cuts in the money to be paid to the bondholders, yet you didn’t have any conversations about burning bondholders with Mr. Trichet after this event and you knew Mr. Trichet’s position prior to this, six weeks earlier.
