Even if we had informal discussions from Arthur Cox and were considering nationalising, as, indeed, we were because we were ready to nationalise, we couldn't just decide ... I think it was probably the 19th before they were actually nationalised. I ... we couldn't just decide that, and decide to put aside the other part of the work stream, I mean, if you're giving Government the decision, you have to be able to implement both options.
