Mr. John Corrigan:

It was agreed at the outset of NAMA that the minutes would record the decisions taken. I am happy that the minutes felicitously recorded the decisions that were taken. With the benefit of hindsight, maybe there could have been a bit more colour around the challenge, but hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have read the minutes of this committee's deliberations. Clearly, if there had been colour, some issues could have been dealt with by the committee much sooner.
