It does not affect it but it is still technically accounted for on the balance sheet. All €6.25 billion is on the State balance sheet. That is good to finish on - total clarification.

This is the first outing here of the witnesses and staff of the LDA. I thank them and the officials of the Department of housing for their work in preparing for today’s meeting and the briefing notes supplied. I thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff for assisting the committee today.

I take it as agreed that the clerk will seek any follow-up information and carry out any agreed actions arising from today’s meeting. I also take it as agreed that we will note and publish the opening statements and briefings provided for today’s meeting. I thank everyone very much. Go raibh míle maith ag gach duine.
