The judgment yesterday gives us the opportunity to discuss this matter today. I must clarify for Deputy McNamara that I did not make a direct link. Unfortunately, the Minister did not get a chance to address the work of NAMA. Can it be confirmed that any NAMA rent deal will be entered into the new property leases database? Will the Minister give us an idea as to when that database will be available to the public? I acknowledge he hopes to have it online pretty soon.

Retailers who were given assurances, not just in manifestoes but also in the programme for Government, will question why the advice received before the election was so different from that received after the election. Legal professionals were involved and suddenly circumstances changed when the Government changed. The retailers are entitled to an answer.
