I am not questioning it. Deputy McGuinness has made it absolutely and abundantly clear. I absolutely accept that the issue of Deputy McGuinness carrying the costs was made explicitly clear and it is implicit in the documentation. I am not questioning that. I am suggesting that on reading the correspondence it strikes me that this official, at any rate, did not interpret Deputy McGuinness's request as something casual. She said she was refusing to sign and that she did not like starting off on a row. That suggests it was not simply an exchange of the type that Deputy McGuinness has indicated. That is my objective read of it.
