Ms Ann Nolan:

It was manifested by these people all coming into town once a quarter while we were in the programme. They would meet NAMA and ask how quick it was going and whether it could go any faster. They would meet us. The meetings would go on for two weeks. They would meet Mr. Reid and his team, they would meet me and they would meet the Ministers. If there was any suggestion that anything had slowed or that there was a danger we were not going to meet all the targets etc., one would be very well aware of it. In addition, the rating agencies would come around, I think probably twice a year in those days and possibly more. I could not give the frequencies.
