On the National Asset Management Agency, in answer to a question from Deputy Eoghan Murphy, Dr. Bacon stated, perhaps jocosely, that he stopped having a serious interest in NAMA when he was no longer paid to have an interest in it. Several members, including me, have quoted media reports from 2010, 2011 and 2012 in which Dr. Bacon gave strong opinions and comments on the workings of NAMA. If he no longer had such an interest in the agency, on what did he base his comments? Did Dr. Bacon work for property development companies in the post-2009 period?
