Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

No one batted an eyelid. It seems neither the Minister nor NAMA batted an eyelid other than to safeguard themselves, to tick the boxes and to get the assurances, notwithstanding that it is the same legal firms involved, and lo and behold, we all are surprised afterwards when other material emerges. It is not good enough. It is an extraordinary error, at the minimum, of judgment, that the deal was allowed to go ahead and the sale of the entire northern loan book was allowed to proceed in the knowledge of what was going on in terms of involving people involved in advising NAMA a short period before they resigned. It was only in the preceding September that the individual resigned.
