Obviously there is the seller of the portfolio and the purchaser. I have no doubt but that the long-term ambition of the potential purchaser of these properties is to get a return on its investment and, undoubtedly, there will be some off-loading of the properties but I refer to the integrity of NAMA. One must be very careful on the international stage that due process is taking place at present, where we can have a media gallery on this issue. As for a Deputy making allegations, I note he is not prepared to go to Northern Ireland to meet the committee there. Moreover, he is not prepared to appear before a committee of this House. Mr. McKay places huge merit on what Deputy Wallace has said, whereas on the credible evidence that has been presented to his committee, even though it is documentary, Mr. McKay appears to be casting a doubt on it.
