Public Accounts Committee

National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2016 and 2017
Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report

9:00 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

If a direction is issued to NAMA, it has to be published and lodged in the Oireachtas. Everybody can see it. We publish it on our website. There are a number of directions on our website and the Oireachtas website. They revolve around technical matters relating to NAMA. The Chairman has more engagement with the Minister than I do. The Minister, as with all Ministers we have dealt with, has always encouraged NAMA to do what it can with regard to social remit without compromising the section 10 obligations. We have made sites available to the Department of Education and Skills for schools in many locations.
