Correspondence that I see coming to the Committee of Public Accounts - there is not a big volume of it - expresses frustration in dealing with NAMA. Some is from clients with properties in NAMA and some from individuals who just do not know where to turn. Then there are those community groups, or at least that one group that I met this morning. That is echoed around the country. I ask Mr. Daly to hear that voice. I am not saying it here for the fun of it.

I am saying it because I do not just believe in it; I have heard it. I hear it here from members. I am aware of the job you must do, and your integrity is not being questioned. What is being questioned is that part of the process that does not engage enough beyond the body politic, as you call it, and with those who come to your door. They are the people who concern me. I am not asking for a reply; I am making a statement. That is my experience, and that is not good.
