Public Accounts Committee

National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2016 and 2017
Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report

9:00 am

Mr. Des Carville:

You will recall that I expressed in the strongest possible terms that the Department wished to discuss the subject but the very clear legal advice we had from the Attorney General's office was unequivocal and is that because it was a matter before the courts, we were advised not to discuss it. That advice still stands and therefore my hands are tied. I would love to engage on this topic but I cannot.
