- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Nov 2016)
Josepha Madigan: I know this is not a court but it would be usual in a case that an applicant or defendant would put in a replying affidavit on the morning of the trial so that he or she would have to get an adjournment because one does not have enough time to go through it.

Josepha Madigan: I thank Mr. Daly for his forbearance and I thank his team for being here today. I know it is quite taxing for him. It struck me that the truth is stranger than fiction sometimes. When the witness was talking about an "Eagle deal", I thought it would be a good title for a novel, with all the various characters-----

Josepha Madigan: Some of the characters are more desirable than others and some are quite nefarious, with a plot line changing as it goes along. I am not sitting here in judgement of Mr. Daly or NAMA, for that matter. We have a report to produce and we are trying to establish the truth more than anything else. The witness can understand, from our perspective, when we are hearing different narratives and...

Josepha Madigan: I outlined at the last meeting that things were lacking in three main categories. Under the category of valuation of portfolios, there was a lack of records, a lack of discussions about the sale of Project Eagle, a lack of formal evaluations of property collateral and a lack of formal expert advice received. Under the category of conflict of interest issues, there was a lack of actions...
