I want to put this in as part of the correspondence from the committee to ensure there is a follow-up to it. On general matters, I will not delay the witnesses, as we are here for quite a while.

Without going again into the allegations that were made by Deputy Mick Wallace in the Dáil, I listened to what the witnesses had to say. When the allegations were made in the House, did NAMA consider contacting Deputy Wallace to say it had the answers to all of that and that he should go and talk to NAMA, or did it take each of the allegations and write to Deputy Wallace saying, as the witnesses explained today, that it was not true? Did NAMA consider that course of action?
