Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

But there is also the point that fair value is about what the market would pay for the loans if one had to sell them at the balance sheet date. One is required to consider what a purchaser might value them at, not what would one value the assets at if one was to hold on to them. It is not relevant.
