Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Brendan McDonagh:
Absolutely. These are policy decisions. If you are talking about the practicalities of how to deliver things, which I have been doing for a long time, you really need to have the right skill set with you. We have had people in NAMA over the years who were quantity surveyors, engineers, project managers, accountants and legal people. You need the right people and they need to all work together to make sure their eye is on the ball the whole time because the potential for things to go wrong and costs to get out of control is huge.
