Aside from the particulars of this payment, there was an ongoing relationship between Mr. Cushnahan and Tughans solicitors, which, in turn, had a relationship with Brown Rudnick, which, according to its documentation, had previous relationships with NAMA. Tughans, which was dealing with debtors, also had a relationship with counsel for purchases and bidders. It is disingenuous of Mr. Daly to reduce it down in the way he is attempting.
