Ms Aideen O'Reilly:

I might be able to provide some detail. With regard to referrals to the Garda where NAMA is the complainant, I and certain members of my team have regular contact with investigating officers in the bureau of fraud investigation and I also have regular contact with the chief superintendent who heads up the unit. He is fully briefed on all complaints NAMA makes to the bureau which are under active investigation. Our role as complainant is to make the complaint and to continue to provide information as and when requested by the bureau, and this continues.

With regard to the so-called file or dossier, we understand from media reports this may have been given to the Garda or may have been the subject of a complaint to the Garda. In such a situation I would not necessarily expect the Garda to contact us because we are not the complainant. On receipt of any complaint, gardaí set out to investigate in accordance with their own protocols and we would not necessarily expect to be notified by them.
