This is a small bit of progress. However, I suggest NAMA appear before the committee. There is a world of difference between giving written replies and appearing before a committee and giving live evidence. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why NAMA will not do it. I do not think NAMA is involved in any of the activities in Northern Ireland about which we have read so much. The only reason I can think of is that NAMA's competence would be questioned further. NAMA representatives must go there as witnesses and give evidence that would help the inquiry. The NAMA representatives are obstructing the inquiry by refusing to appear there, and Mr. Daly knows it. He is going to a half-way house.
