Before calling Deputy Paul J. Connaughton, I ask the witnesses to clarify the position on a question asked by Deputy Mary Lou McDonald about the mechanics of the mediation process. Is it the case that NAMA has its representatives in one room, that the client has his or her representatives in another and that somebody is going to and fro between both parties, or do all parties sit around a table to discuss the matter? How does the process work?
