Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Role and Functions of NAMA: Discussion

5:40 pm

Mr. Frank Daly:

The Senator spoke about media reporting. Over the past year or so the media commentary has been more positive and balanced. We occasionally get a few broadsides. At times we might think, as the Senator put it, that some of our detractors are given a platform. He asked what we do to rebut that. Sometimes we are constrained by confidentiality. It works both ways. There are times when we would love to breach it just to rebut some of the more spurious stuff that is put out there. We try to get the facts out there. If allegations are made against us in terms of probity or confidentiality, as the Senator knows, we chase it up and ask people to give us the facts, which we investigate. If there is any substance to them, we will deal with them, but there has not been in one particular case, as the Senator well knows.
