It is not possible to answer the Deputy's question in relation to the companies that the receivers were appointed to as there are many instances where only part of the connection is enforced and releasing such information could suggest that the entire connection is enforced whilst also having the effect of breaching sections 99 and 202 of the NAMA Act.
