Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

Yes. If we were to sell it on the market, there would be €350 million - possibly more. It would be given as cash to the exchequer. Instead of giving it as cash, we are giving it as payment in kind. It had a market value of €356 million at the end of 2024, according to an independent evaluation.
