I appreciate all of that. This week, Deputy Mick Wallace raised some other issues in the Dáil relating to Project Eagle and other activities. The Taoiseach requested that Deputy Wallace would come before this committee but he has again declined to do so. Deputy Robert Dowds has e-mailed Deputy Wallace requesting that he put forward questions that this committee could pose to NAMA today if he is not prepared to come before us. Deputy Wallace has indicated that his statements in the Dáil, which were made under privilege, would contain all of the questions that he needed to put. In a roundabout way, therefore, we will be putting Deputy Wallace's questions to NAMA today. That is why I am asking whether we could explore a possible roundabout way of making NAMA answerable to the Northern Ireland committee through this forum.
