They are published in the quarterly reports of NAMA, which are laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and published on the NAMA website. The second quarterly report for the period ending 30 June 2011, accompanied by financial statements for the second quarter, was submitted to me as required by the end of September 2011 and I will lay the report before each House of the Oireachtas shortly.
