Can I put it to you ... Mr. Simon Carswell, a journalist, in a book called Anglo Republic, page 276, says as follows ... I put this to you for a comment, "Critics of NAMA viewed the agency as another bailout for the banks: a political tool to recapitalize them by stealth by overpaying for assets that nobody else in the world would touch, and to deceive the public about the true cost." Would you have a comment on that?
