I would like to put a question to Mr. Corrigan. We heard evidence yesterday from the deputy First Minister in Northern Ireland, Mr. Martin McGuinness, on the specific question of a memorandum of understanding that had emerged. It was prepared by at least one half of the Executive in Northern Ireland. To the best of Mr. McGuinness's recollection - he said he thought he was correct, but he might stand corrected - this memorandum of understanding had been provided for NAMA within three days of a conference call that had taken place between Mr. McGuinness, the Minister for Finance here and the then First Minister, Mr. Peter Robinson, in the North. That was in February 2014, which was obviously before any sale was concluded. Is Mr. Corrigan in a position to confirm or deny that the memorandum of understanding was provided for NAMA?
