I find it objectionable that unsecured or subordinated debt would be repaid. They have been accelerating the sale of the floating rate bonds and are ahead of schedule because of interest rates and the NTMA. We never had the game changer which was related to the promissory notes. Have we fully accepted this and has there been any challenge to it? Is there any follow-up to the commitments that were made but never delivered on? Is it now over for the Department or is it a political issue?
