Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

The NTMA is a secret organisation. When will this order come before the House and what is the position in regard to the Attorney General's advice? Our legal advice indicates it is not possible for the Minister for Finance to delegate advisory functions to the NTMA under the relevant legislation. In regard to NAMA, the NTMA has very limited functions and I do not see how it can be done under NAMA legislation either.
