I will finish very quickly. In relation to the continuous mantra that this was a very difficult property portfolio, Mr. Long has looked in detail at the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. If he looks at the chapter that I cite repeatedly, figure 4.5 on page 70 relates to the European real estate loan sales market. It goes on to show the various companies interested and the various interest in the market. There is no evidence anywhere that this was a difficult portfolio. It is a mantra that is repeated ad nauseam. Did Mr. Long meet with NAMA prior to today's evidence?
