Is it possible to get the correspondence from the Department with the US? We are surely entitled to that, I would have thought. It would be very interesting to see the pressure the US is putting on certain countries. We can see it when politicians around the world are speaking. There is clear pressure put on by the US. I would be interested to see what sort of pressure would be put on Irish politicians, which, obviously, has not worked, and what sort of dialogue they are having. I do not know if it is possible. It is up to Mr. Keown, really.
