Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent)

Who decided who would get the jobs? I have encountered many people who worked for banks and in real estate who have moved into NAMA. It seems they are getting more money now than they ever got in their previous jobs. I do not understand that, given that they are doing much the same type of work. It is questionable whether they should have got the work when one considers that they were part of this mess in the first instance. Why are they getting much more money now that they are working for the State, which is pretty short of money? Who should I ask these questions of?
