I accept that. Deputy McDonald will have to take my view on this, that is, factually it was put casually. Bear with me for a minute. I was in the Department and attached to it and so on but there was no office for me and therefore I was not there. Then the officials went into what is almost an overdrive of correspondence. I find it hard to believe that a simple question triggers that, but it did happen.
