The broader issue is that allegations are being made that there was large bungs being paid to facilitate the purchase of properties in the Northern Ireland project eagle loan book from NAMA and that the sales process was compromised. Those allegations compromise the integrity of the organisation which was to oversee the sales. I am not saying that developers can buy back their property loans, or that politicians in the Republic are making representations to NAMA. The legislation does not allow it to happen.
