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. John Mulcahy:

My own experience is that the advantage is completely overblown. A bidder can only be told the same piece of information, whether it is worth more to know it for a month or a week seems to be overblown. Those who do not get the information first always say they would have been in a better position if they had got it earlier but I do not believe that to be material.
