It was the subject of a recommendation in our periodic report which has been rejected by the Minister and NAMA. They are nearly there, which is fine. However, I am not satisfied and we will hold our ground. NAMA included some wholly unnecessary and gratuitous remarks in its response to the committee, which remarks I reject. I wish to discuss the matter next week. NAMA stated the European Union (Anti-Money Laundering: Beneficial Ownership of Corporate Entities) Regulations 2019 and the central register of beneficial ownership of companies and industrial and provident societies were in the course of being finalised and would be in operation by November this year. It will nearly be finishing up at that stage.
