I want to discuss KPMG. The NDFA officials have stated the NDFA has taken legal advice that there is not a great position, from a legal point of view, for it to take a case against KPMG. Given that so many subcontractors are affected, with the consequential impact, and as KPMG did such a bad job of assessing the position of Carillion, would the NDFA consider taking a case not on its own behalf but on behalf of the subcontractors? In the interests of those people and the role they play in the State, would the NDFA consider taking a case in the courts against KPMG based on the fact that the latter's false information about Carillion has led to so many subcontractors getting shafted?
