Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Earlier this year Deputy Doherty introduced a Bill to bring NAMA within the remit of the Freedom of Information Act. His Bill would have removed the application fee and reverted to the fee structures set out in the original Act. Will the Taoiseach take that on board? It is impossible to get information about NAMA. This is a multi-billion euro agency which has to brought within the remit of the Act.

Another thing I find really interesting is that in October we paid €1 billion to unguaranteed bondholders. I do not know who these bondholders are, nor do I know anybody who knows who they are. The supposition is that they are people from abroad, but they may not be. They could be people living in the Taoiseach's constituency or my constituency. We do not know. Why should we not know?

Will the Government legislation include the extension of freedom of information provisions to NAMA, to the National Treasury Management Agency, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority, the Central Bank and An Garda Síochána?
