Right, you say in your opening statement, written, Mr. Browne, "in relation to exception management where a loan was being put forward that was outside of credit policy, this was clearly highlighted in credit papers for discussion at the credit committee meeting as to why the credit should be approved if an exception to credit policy and your decision to be made in relation to same at the credit meeting...". Could I ask you to look at - sorry, I didn't give notice of this - page 3, in Vol. 2 of the IBRC book? You have it yourself there, Mr. Browne, Vol. 2, page 3, it is easily got. This relates to documents from IBRC liquidators in NAMA, exceptions to credit policy for Anglo loans, and the findings at the very bottom and the very bottom paragraph:
Of the 1,731 cases reviewed at client level, the number found to have represented an exception to credit policy was 1,073 or 62% of clients. The aggregate value of the exceptions identified was €31.97 million or 92% of the value of the Book which transferred to NAMA.
