Question 219: To ask the Minister for Finance of the €13bn of the €74bn of loans acquired by the National Asset Management Agency that are being managed directly by the original banking institutions, the proportion of the €13bn that has assessed business plans; if the participating institutions used independent professionals to analyse these business plans, or were there instances in which the business plans were analysed by bank staff who may have been involved in the original lending decisions or original loan management.

I am advised by NAMA that the debtor business plans of close to 600 debtors managed by the participating institutions have now been assessed. Under a direction issued by NAMA to the institutions under Section 131 of the NAMA Act, staff of the NAMA Unit within the institutions may not be involved in the relationship management and administration of any loans or debtors with which they were involved prior to the establishment of NAMA. This means that debtor business plans are not analysed by staff involved in the original lending decisions or original loan management. I am advised that in the cases of the largest debtors which are directly managed by NAMA, third party professionals were used to analyse the debtor business plans. However, NAMA did not authorise the use of third party professionals for analysis of debtor business plans of those debtors who are managed directly by participating institutions.
