-----and their arrangements therefore should reflect that extraordinary phenomenon that is NAMA. That is my view and I know Mr. Daly will not agree with me on it.

I will summarise their position in respect of this dossier or file which I have not seen. Clearly, I was not one of the chosen few. Their proposition is as follows: a disgruntled Mr. Enda Farrell is the source of these allegations. Reference has been made to a complete file or a full file in respect of Mr. McKillen, and no such file actually existed or was in the possession of NAMA. Nonetheless, somebody has gone to great lengths to put together a dossier of sorts and that somebody has drip-fed it into the political system and into the media. Presumably, they are referring to Independent Newspapers. When they talk about certain media outlets, I presume it is the Sunday Independent. That is quite a scenario, is it not? That is shocking, is it not?
