It is a major issue and has been raised. I will not go through the comments made in the Seanad, and not just by Senator Darragh O'Brien. It has been raised as an issue that is central, as Mr. McDonagh rightly acknowledged, to the economy and the State. I would have thought that when the papers were handed to the Garda, it would have to examine them, but surely it would have contacted NAMA before now. Certainly, regarding all the other information in the media, and if there is a liaison officer appointed, would Mr. McDonagh not have expected that the Garda would have been in touch with him?
