I would be very cautious on that front. We do not want to let the Committee of Public Accounts be used as a vehicle for any developer who has been treated fairly by NAMA but for other purposes wants to cast a negative light on the work of NAMA or regarding a particular portfolio they believe was not treated properly but which was but they were not included in it because NAMA decided not to deal with them. I am sure we have all been approached by different developers who felt they had been treated unfairly by NAMA and we should take those concerns with a pinch of salt, given the work NAMA had to do. We spent a lot of time on NAMA in this committee and any time serious charges have been levelled against NAMA, it has responded very well. We have gone into different areas in detail and it has been able to back up the different things it has done. We looked at the Comptroller and Auditor General's triennial report earlier in the year but since then, and going back to Deputy Deasy's point, we had the Department of Finance's review also which we have not had a chance to examine. If we are bringing NAMA before the committee we should bring in the Department of Finance also to go through that report and then talk about the future. However, at this point in time I would not be in favour of bringing developers before the committee.
