Can I ask you, Mr. Somers, you said in your opening statement, "Transferring them to NAMA [the loans] would be a bonanza for lawyers and other professionals, as well as requiring a large staff in NAMA." In the event, a very large number of loans were transferred at a substantial discount. Would you have acted differently? Do you feel the NAMA discount was appropriate? And were you requested to provide advice in relation to NAMA?
