Mr. Brian Rowntree:

I cannot really say because I was not part of the discussion on the sale of Project Eagle. What I can say is that, as Deputy Catherine Connolly said, there were quite animated discussions in the build-up to the draft report from the University of Ulster. There was a level of intensity around these discussions which were focused on opportunity and strategic visioning, but that was set aside. Someone has an evidence base somewhere, I presume, that says we no long require this and this is the best we can achieve, that is, selling the loan book.
