As I stated, I did so on both occasions. I indicated to Mr. Clegg that the decision had been taken by the Heads of Government in Brussels, in respect of an interest rate reduction being agreed in principle, that the Minister for Finance and officials from Ireland should make contact with their colleagues. I also referred to the British loan. I thanked the Deputy Prime Minister, as I did the Prime Minister previously, and indicated the nature of the discussions we were having with our colleagues abroad on an interest rate reduction.
