Mr. Martin Fraser:

I do not think that I quite said that, or if I did, I apologise and I will clarify. What I said was that the process should have involved the Minister alerting the Taoiseach and I assumed that the Taoiseach had been alerted. Therefore, it was not an active decision on my part not to tell the Taoiseach; it was an assumption on my part that the Taoiseach was aware of the matter. It was an assumption that was wrong on my part, but that was my assumption.
