Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

What the committee can know, however, and it is in the public domain, is that in September 2023 I had a three-hour session on this special report by the Comptroller and Auditor General in the Committee of Public Accounts, where all of this was discussed. There is a transcript of it. We got a market valuation for the properties. There were particular issues. It is all discussed in detail. I do not want to start speaking without having read it first. It is there with full disclosure in the report of the C and AG and there was full discussion of it at the PAC on 30 September 2023. If anybody wants to know the facts about that, they were all outed that day at the PAC in 2023.
