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

Mr. Patrick Long:
That is a very difficult question to answer. I guess I would be in danger of straying into the realms of the hypothetical. What I would say is that the process, as the Deputy pointed out earlier, evolved over time. The timetable was lengthened. We included slightly more participants in the process than NAMA originally intended. Perhaps if I could go back in time we would have started with a slightly longer timeframe and slightly wider participation. We would have started in effect where we ended up. Beyond that I would not like to conjecture any further.
