Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

Can I take it from the reply that there will be no political oversight of this process of valuation and execution against the criteria? Can I also take it that NAMA will decide if we nationalise? If it gives a haircut that is more than shareholders' funds, we will nationalise and if it gives a haircut less than shareholders' funds we will not nationalise. That decision has been devolved to NAMA.
