While we are primarily here to talk about mortgages, I will pick up on the last point we were talking about in respect of KPMG and the fact that as special liquidators, Mr. Wallace and Mr. Richardson have not issued proceedings against their own firm in respect of its auditing of Irish Nationwide. We see revelations in the newspapers today to add to the arguments put forward by myself and others that the special liquidators should have taken that course of action. The special liquidators say they have independent legal advice, which is fine. Can they tell us the name of the company that gave them that advice?
