I thank Mr. Daly. The letter I referred to earlier, which Mr. Daly said is standard when somebody departs a board, is, therefore, interesting. I can confirm this is Mr. Cushnahan:
... I have returned to you/securely disposed of all documentation obtained while a member of the Northern Ireland Advisory Committee of Nama. This includes all information received on my behalf by my designated assistants at Tughans. I confirm that the documentation was returned to you/securely disposed of in a manner as to fully protect the confidentiality of its contents.
I have to acknowledge that this letter came to light on foot of an FOI application by the Irish News, a Belfast-based newspaper. It seems from this that there was an institutional knowledge of Mr. Cushnahan's tie-in with Tughans and he refers to "all information received on my behalf by my designated assistants at Tughans". What was that all about?
