That is fair enough and a justification for an answer not given. I asked a simple question. It is important that not only Members of the Oireachtas, but the public have an idea of the options open to NAMA. I have not had sight of the independent review. However, it is clear from the answers given that the independent review looked at a number of scenarios, one of which is that NAMA would make more hard cash if it delayed the sale of assets. That is very clear from the answers given today. The board made a decision, which the witnesses have justified, but it is not the preferable option when one takes other issues into the round.
