Mr. Martin McGuinness:

I made the point, as I made consistently from the very beginning, that my concern was the prospect that the Project Eagle portfolio would find its way into the hands of people who would conduct a fire sale that would be hugely damaging to our economy in the North. I said that during the course of the meeting. It is not recorded in the note. I am not exercised about that because, as I said earlier during this conversation, I approached that phone call with the purpose of being more in listening mode about what was happening. It was obvious to me, because the DUP was in lead with regard to the then Northern Ireland Department of Finance and Personnel - and in light of the DUP's relationship with Peter Robinson - that meetings were being conducted and conversations were being had that I was not part of.
