Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We also have this sell-off, with the allegation of an illegal fixers' fee of £15 million being paid. The Tánaiste says the Labour Party is in government to keep Fine Gael in check and so she must have a view on the Minister for Finance's handling of these issues. I would like the Tánaiste to answer the following question directly. Has the Tánaiste asked the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, and the Taoiseach about this? Surely, as Tánaiste and leader of the Labour Party she would agree, in the light of all these disclosures which are not Northern matters because, as has been said, NAMA is a national body and the money involved, in terms of the loans that are being sold, is taxpayers' money, that there is enough evidence to justify a series of investigations. Would the Tánaiste support the establishment of a commission of investigation into the management and operations of NAMA?
