For some time now, and the past couple of months in particular, high profile members of NAMA staff and executives have been leaving their positions in NAMA to take up occupations in the private sector. While that in itself is not a key issue, what is at issue is that because some of those staff have taken up employment in companies that are involved in property development there could be a conflict in terms of the information and knowledge they take with them from NAMA. Is there a need for more appropriate terms of notice of leave, cooling-off periods and conditions in contracts not only for new employees but existing employees of NAMA, in light, in particular, of the decision of Mr. John Mulcahy, an executive of NAMA, to depart for IPUT and to advise Mr. Denis O'Brien in regard to his property portfolio?
