The only problem is that we may have some questions to ask directly of NAMA ourselves, as elected public representatives. We may be able to come to a judgment as to what is realistic, achievable and attainable, what NAMA's responsibility might be and how it might be extended to accommodate the kind of housing situation we are faced with. I am not certain that we should have a general debate on the whys and wherefores at this stage. We know about NAMA. We have lived with it for the past seven or eight years now and I am sure we all have acquired a certain amount of expertise. There are things that are possible and things that are not possible. I think we should concentrate on NAMA by itself for a start.
