I wish to say one thing about this report. Obviously, the progress of the work depends on the material provided and the format of that material. This may be pertinent not only to this inquiry but to other inquiries in future. Page five of the statement refers to where NAMA has believed it has been unable to access and verify the completeness of relevant documentation. This could be pertinent to other inquiries. NAMA has taken the view that it has not been able to provide voluntary co-operation because of data protection and other considerations. This is relevant for statutory declarations to produce documents issued by the commission. This adds to the workload of the commission and it will be the same for others. This is something we need to consider if other commissions of investigation or tribunals are set up. There may be something to reconcile here.
