I will say something to Mr. Daly before we move on from this point. Given what would be a matter of basic courtesy and common sense for the average person, the taxpayer in this jurisdiction would have no tolerance for NAMA's dodging or any mar dhea reason it might produce for not appearing before the committee. NAMA has appeared in Stormont previously, engaged with the Northern committee and attended meetings with Northern Ministers and officials. Its refusal to attend the committee is unacceptable and irresponsible and is a block in the thorough investigation of matters of public interest. That is how the matter sits.
