I thank the Chairman and Mr. McCarthy. Two weeks ago, when this broke in the media in terms of the work that was going to be conducted, I thought one of the most striking comments was from Sean Whelan in RTE. He referred to what was the unprecedented stand-off between Mr. McCarthy's office and NAMA, which obviously generated and captured the public attention. We have then had a series of unprecedented statements by NAMA. In that respect, considering the onslaught on Mr. McCarthy's office over the past two weeks, can he tell us how firm he remains in his assertions in respect of what has happened?
