There is a document on the public record of the courts in England. Therefore, there is nothing confidential about this. It is not sub judice. It is a previous case. I want to read an extract from the public court record of what was stated in the summing up, and I can provide this to anybody who wishes to have it after the meeting. It is on the public court record. It states Mr. Hennigan and Selina Dicker from NAMA then spoke to Mr. Peters, Mr. Hooper and Mr. Faber on 27 January. It further states that on 28 January Mr. Peters e-mailed Mr. Hennigan and Ms Dicker saying, "Thank you for time yesterday on our conference call". It states, "Richard, Dick and I found it most helpful". It further states, "Clearly, you have a wealth of knowledge regarding Coroin Limited and its shareholders in some of the latter's much wider debt and security positions than we would have possibly hoped to have obtained in the relatively short period of time we have been involved". It also states, "We appreciate your most kind offer to assist us in getting up the learning curve".
Mr. McDonagh can tell me if I am wrong on this but it could appear from this that NAMA representatives were discussing a company's business with other people, perhaps to the detriment of one of its clients. I read that extract from the court record. Is Mr. McDonagh aware of this?
