John McGuinness: I take the point Deputy Fleming is making, and it is a valid one, but can I suggest that in some way Mr. McDonagh might look within his organisation to see if some general analysis like that can be carried out without it costing millions of euro? It is easy for us to be put off by Mr. McDonagh telling us it will cost millions of euro but Deputy Fleming is looking for that type of general...

John McGuinness: If NAMA is prepared to publish it, then it can let us have it. Does Mr. McDonagh have a list of the offers for housing there? If so, we will copy it and give it to members. I am anxious to see the full list.

John McGuinness: On our way in this morning, we received from Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan and a group concerned about Project Jewel a list of questions regarding the sale of the portfolio. It refers to issues regarding the National Museum and its report. I can go through the questions if the witnesses wish, or give them a copy, but if possible I would like to get replies to some of them. Did the group ask to...

John McGuinness: Rather than delay the meeting, I will give the witnesses a copy of the questions. Could they also confirm whether they were asked to meet the relatives of those involved in 1916 and whether they did so? Will they provide replies to the seven questions that were passed on this morning to members, or certainly to me, as I came to the House?

John McGuinness: I want to put this in as part of the correspondence from the committee to ensure there is a follow-up to it. On general matters, I will not delay the witnesses, as we are here for quite a while. Without going again into the allegations that were made by Deputy Mick Wallace in the Dáil, I listened to what the witnesses had to say. When the allegations were made in the House, did NAMA...

John McGuinness: Deputy Perry raised the issue earlier of damage to NAMA and its reputation. I fully understand that, but I also understand that when Members of the House get queries or are told things, some of us will act responsibly and check them out and perhaps raise them afterwards, but every man and woman has his or her own way of doing business. Deputy Wallace has done it this way, and although he...

John McGuinness: I thank Mr. Daly. In relation to the data room, entry to it and how information is exchanged there, is there a set of rules laid down for those who use the data room? Is one of those rules that one does not go out and talk to those who are associated with the loans and other such areas? What action is taken to ensure the rules are adhered to, because once one is in the data room and has...

John McGuinness: Is that an extensive set of rules or is it a simple set of rules? Could Mr. McDonagh give us a copy of the rules that people are following within the data room?

John McGuinness: Okay. These are just small issues but NAMA does not talk about the statements of Johnny Ronan and Michael O'Flynn because it has been before the committee of inquiry. Is that it? I am just taking it from-----
