It could be an administrative error, but I want to check it because it is important.

Deputy David Cullinane referred to Mr. Patrick Long from Lazard earlier. I know Mr. Daly referred to this matter earlier but I wish to go into it a little further. Mr. Long stated that he would not comment on the NAMA sales process because, he said, NAMA is a sophisticated organisation and it was not Lazard's place to advise on the sales process. That does not tie with what Mr. Daly stated on page 6 of his written statement, which was that "Lazard advised [NAMA] that there was sufficient competitive tension in the process with the remaining two bidders". That does not add up. Will Mr. Daly clarify that for me?
