I appreciate that. I am only informing the Minister of what went on last week. We established last week that if we were selling two or three bed semi-detached houses in Limerick for a small developer in the Minister's constituency for €200,000, three valuations would have to be provided to go into NAMA. NAMA would assess the valuations and pick the one it thought best and typically would add a sweetener. That is how it would determine the sale price. Would it be a cause of concern that this did not happen when it came to the largest property transaction in the history of the State?
