I refer to what the records reflect at that early stage. Even though preliminary discussions had been had with PIMCO - Mr. Rowntree can only speak for himself; Mr. Cushnahan obviously is a different person with a different history in these matters - the issue of discount is there. I assume that Mr. Rowntree would have assumed that on a matter like discounting the debtor portfolio, NAMA would have sought advice, evidence and expertise.
