Okay. Thank you Mr. Cowen. Can I just deal with one other matter and then I'll move on to Deputy O'Donnell. In your statement you said, under point 59, that and abolishment or a reduction of stamp duty would have been irresponsible before 2007 elections and that you strongly resisted such demands. How did you feel when the Taoiseach at the time, Mr. Ahern, gave an interview to the Sunday Independenton 27 April 2007 and during this announced the reform of stamp duty, or some change to the regime if the Government were returned? Were you informed by Mr. Ahern that ... of this announcement in advance?
