No, I am not delving into anything. What I am telling the witnesses is that my information is that the deputy president was clear that there was no particular urgency on the governing authority to make a decision, as if it was the Last Supper or a do-or-die job and had to be made at the meeting of the governing authority that night. It was stuck on and the members of the governing authority only became aware of it during the meeting or when it came to any other business. It was said: "Oh, by the way, we have an item here to buy a site for €8.34 million."
