We have made the point that NAMA itself has been before the Committee of Public Accounts discussing these matters in some considerable detail. Its representatives will be appearing again tomorrow.

With regard to Longboat Quay, the Minister has moved to address this. Clearly, it is a matter for the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, the receiver to the developer, the residents themselves and their management company, in addition to Dublin Fire Brigade, to resolve this collaboratively. I understand that all the authorities are trying to find a solution to this. In the interest of supporting owners and residents living in developments such as Longboat Quay where concerns are brought to light about non-compliance, particularly with fire regulations, the Minister has directed that a review be undertaken to develop a framework that will apply generally in future cases of this kind. That review will be undertaken by a steering group chaired by Mr. Martin Riordan, who was formerly manager of Cork County Council, and including representatives from Kildare County Council and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. The steering group will be assisted by an independent fire safety expert.
