We have received several pieces of correspondence on Project Nantes and we tried to address it when NAMA last appeared before us, but NAMA was not in a position to answer questions on it, or at least the questions that were being put. We are getting information. We cannot take all of it at face value, but many questions are being raised.

We were able to examine Project Eagle because the Comptroller and Auditor General did a special report. What was the genesis of that report? Why was Project Eagle picked out?

I would also like to ask about the Comptroller and Auditor General's work in terms of his engagement with NAMA, which he audits. Is Project Nantes something that he has on his radar for future work? We are getting bits and pieces here and there. We do not really know how to handle it. We are going over and back with NAMA. Then we have other people almost acting in between that by telling us we should not believe something else over here. I am trying to work out how we deal with it or do not deal with it. Is the Comptroller and Auditor General across some of these issues?
