For many reasons and...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (6 Oct 2016)

Alan Kelly: Fair enough, and we will get the other side of those stories when they appear before the committee. Did it not sound odd to the Minister at the time that PIMCO withdrew?
