Overview of Operations and Functioning of NAMA: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

I did not recruit all of the people who worked for NAMA but I do not think that people would have taken up a position with NAMA unless they were committed to the cause. I think that morally all NAMA employees are very good people. I have not, to date, seen any of them turn up on the other side and I do not expect any of our current employees to turn up on the other side either. They are strong individuals who have taken a view and they work for NAMA because they want to work for it and to contribute towards resolving the problem. In fairness to them, I do not expect that to happen.
