Minister, you touched on this earlier. When you were on "Prime Time", did you break it to RTÉ as to what was happening? Was it one your officials who decided o do so or did you ask them to do it? I still cannot get over that ye leaked this to RTÉ just before you went on air. Can you explain the rationale behind that?
