My final question in this here is, you mentioned that you were informed around 2 o'clock by the Government - I think you mentioned the Taoiseach or the Minister of Finance - that all six institutions would be guaranteed. Can you inform the committee, was the AIB representatives at that meeting when that was said? And can you also inform the committee, why ... sorry, can you also inform the committee, was there a draft document or statement issued to you that contained the words that the institutions were solvent and the system was solvent, and that you asked for them to be taken out? And did you suggest that Nationwide or Anglo were an institution that may not warrant that statement?
