Public Accounts Committee

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

10:00 am

Mr. Patrick Long:

I do understand the question. I would not like to speculate as to how our advice would have been different had we known about the precise circumstances of PIMCO's withdrawal. What I would say is that we knew about the fact that it had withdrawn from the process and we advised NAMA at the time that we felt there was still sufficient competitive tension.
