Mr. Rowntree did not know that but we know that. We know it goes right back because I have a note here from 14 June 2013. It is just a short note about the meeting the day before between Sammy Wilson, the then Minister for Finance in Northern Ireland, and the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan. It noted that Mr. Wilson raised concerns about NAMA's operation in Northern Ireland and its commitment. He also queried whether NAMA would consider a full divestment of its Northern Ireland portfolio as this was something it had been approached about. The Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, said that it was a matter for NAMA, quite rightly, but that he would raise it later with the advisory committee.

I presume that refers to the other advisory committee, not the Northern Ireland advisory committee.
