One issue that arose when NAMA's representatives were last here, in September, was that there was a revolving door, with information being passed from NAMA to the private sector. There are questions, beyond what the Chairman has said, that need to be answered. Are the constraints rigorous enough on people who work in NAMA when it comes to passing on information? NAMA's representatives mentioned the Official Secrets Act, the NAMA Act and the personal contractual arrangements they had made with individuals. However, they need to answer that question. If there are no constraints, the matter needs to be dealt with both by NAMA and the Government. There are pertinent questions to be answered.
