The first part of our meeting today will deal with the financial statements of the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, for 2014, where we will deal with Project Eagle. The committee will examine the financial statement in full in the early autumn. It is proposed to break at 1 p.m. and resume at 2 p.m. If we have dealt with NAMA, at 2 p.m. we will resume with the Department of Education and Skills special report.

I am reminded by the clerk that Mr. McDonagh and the other representatives of NAMA are due to appear before the banking inquiry at 2 p.m.

Will you put my name on the list? I must go to the Chamber for 10.30 a.m. so I will be gone for a while, but I will be back.

It will be all sorted at that stage.

Deputy Ross will have it sorted. We will have all the answers we need.

Deputy Ross might not want to go first.

He might, but I suggest to him not to bow to the Fine Gael-Fianna Fáil axis and to stay strong.
