Mairéad Farrell: I get that. I take it that there is a legislative basis on which the NTMA invests, even if I have a different view on it and would like us to change that legislative mandate. Mr. Ashmore is saying that it uses third-party support or information to try to deal with the companies involved. For me, it is either black and white or it is not.

Mairéad Farrell: I just wanted to get that right. On the fraud that occurred, the witnesses can tell me which questions they can answer and which they cannot. We want to be kept in check here.

We were...
