I welcome Mr. McDonagh. A lot of questions have been raised, several of which strayed from the content of the letter of invitation set out at the beginning of the meeting. I do not think that was necessary. As to why Mr. McDonagh was invited to the meeting, Senator Higgins mentioned the institutional knowledge of NAMA and the inside knowledge that is integral to NAMA. Has there been engagement with staff and the unions on the transition and dissolution of NAMA in order to be able to maintain that intellectual property in the public service and in the institutions that will move over to the NTMA?
