I cannot understand, from the point of view of the Department of Finance, why that may have been so because that Government was obviously being optimistic about figures. It thought the bank guarantee would be an in and out job. The Deputy possibly had a much tighter take on it because I remember some of his contributions being very thoughtful. All I can say is that his Government was over-optimistic about that as well. Hence I have the problem of sorting out some of the legacy items which it left me.
