I really hope the Vice Chairman is not trying to disrupt my line of questioning with this witness.

Mary Lou McDonald: I have to say, members are very touchy on this particular issue. We have established that Mr. Daly has not had a response from Mr. Cushnahan to his letter of 19 November. What does he propose to do now? Will he write him again?

Mary Lou McDonald: Unfortunately, the Deputy will have to, because it is my time to put questions. Did Mr. Daly indicate to Mr. Cushnahan a timeline by which he expects a response?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Operations and Functioning of NAMA: Discussion (16 Dec 2015)
Mary Lou McDonald: Why did you not give him a tighter timeline than that?
