I will just tease that out. I raise this purely because a line of thought has emerged from Deputy Kelly in terms of the toxicity of NAMA and this deal, which is one way of interpreting matters. Of course, the other line concerns the kudos that would accrue to whoever might sort out the NAMA issue. This is speculative and I will not detain the deputy First Minister too long on this. Could it have been that for the First Minister, Mr. Robinson, the idea was to keep this matter within a set of players? By the way, did Mr. Cushnahan have a role previously in the Executive?
