Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)
10:00 am
Mr. Patrick Long:
I said tactful not tactical. I did not want to - I did not feel as if firm E was qualified to acquire this entire portfolio. I think that now, re-examining my assessment now, I am sure of my ground. Rather than saying to them, "we don't think you are qualified to buy this portfolio" it was more tactful to say to them, "the process is closed" and to leave it at that.
