She was very clear on that day that she simply did not have the detail and that it would be inappropriate to speculate. One has to have all the facts. I was waiting for those facts from the Grant Thornton report. The Taoiseach said at the time that he agreed with the way in which that was handled and there was no point in talking and speculating about something that might or might not be. One waits for the facts and then moves. As soon as we had the facts, I moved very quickly to set up the independent expert groups.
