The Taoiseach said to Mr. Tspiras that that was how we had come through it, that we had said what we had to say to be elected but then a new reality dawned after being elected and going into government when we just calmly, nonchalantly and without too much fuss jettisoned everything we had said before the election, particularly about the bondholders and retrospective recapitalisation. It was said we did not bother with any of that stuff, that we had just gone ahead and did what we had to do. If the Taoiseach was a clever guy, he probably said to the Greek Prime Minister that he should do the same and forget the commitments he had made.
