Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

I am not responsible for the NTMA. If the NTMA is here, it can decide whether it wants to answer that question but as far as I am concerned, I joined the NTMA and signed an employment contract with it which is private and confidential. When I transferred to NAMA I was the accountable person. My salary was going to be disclosed. I had no problem with that. It has been disclosed for the last 15 years. When I go back to the NTMA I am no longer the accountable person and I do not see why I would be singled out to be treated differently from anybody else who is in a senior position in the NTMA.
