The same issue arose with the Central Bank with regard to Quinn Insurance. We had one meeting where we could not get information. While I am not saying there was anyone involved, that information got out to the media the day before the Central Bank came in for a second meeting. That is also totally unacceptable. To go back to the issue of the University of Limerick, I am not defending anyone but one of the problems is that litigation is under way. Everyone has been careful about what can and cannot be said. Perhaps one of the problems is that people were given too much advice about what they could and could not say. That is one of the problems that arises once litigation is involved. It is very frustrating from our point of view.
