General Scheme of Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Dissolution) Bill 2014: Discussion

2:30 pm

Mr. John Crawley:

NAMA is one of the bodies to which we owe money, so we are engaged in discussions with it. We have a liability to NAMA in respect of some old debts from previous years. We are at an early stage of discussing the resolution of those debts with the authority. Taking all of the moving parts together, the thing does not quite balance at the moment. To say that we have talked to NAMA about putting a badge on it is not true at this point in time.

We have just considered the totality of our liabilities. In that context, there are liabilities both inside and outside of NAMA. We have opened discussions with NAMA in order to discover whether anything can be done about the matter.
