Mr. McGuinness has put that on the record, so we know there were tensions in respect of the Maze site and other issues. That is fine and we understand that. What I am trying to understand is, if Mr. McGuinness believed that he was locked out of important meetings to do with this loan sale under Project Eagle - which were not about the Maze - surely he would have given consideration to the question of why he had been excluded. That is just an example. Mr. McGuinness has referenced the issue a number of times. It is extraordinary that a former Vice President of the US would be in Belfast, let alone at Stormont Castle, and the deputy First Minister would not have been made aware of it. Surely Mr. McGuinness would have asked why he was being excluded from the meetings. If so, did he put questions to Mr. Robinson at any point when he was made aware? He said that he learned from the media that Mr. Quayle had been to Stormont Castle. Did he ask Mr. Robinson about why he had not been informed?
