Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Overview of Operations and Functioning of NAMA: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

Yes. We generally find it very useful. Sometimes it is about explaining the respective sides' positions. Going into court drives up costs for everyone. The best outcome with mediation is that both sides do not feel as if it has been a victory, that the each feels some pain but at least there is a conclusion to the matter. We have used it quite a lot this year. Thankfully, many of the debtors who have sometimes been in long term litigation with us have come to us after a long period and asked to go to mediation. We did mediation and it has worked out very well.
