The Government knew about this when discussions were taking place. The Taoiseach might confirm the report that the transaction of the €300 million — not to a golden circle but a toxic circle — was overseen by a British finance house. Is that true?

I do not know any of these people and the Taoiseach has told me he does not know any of them either.
