I am not finished, Chairman. We had a nice bit of leniency earlier on. I am capitalising on it and being a bit opportunistic here as I am conscious that Mr. Carville from the Department of Finance is here. I am going to go a little bit off the reservation, because we might not have him here again. Did Mr. Carville or the Department have a role in instructing the Chief State Solicitor's office to offer the work of this committee as a conduit to a party suing the State to seek them to withdraw their case?
