John Deasy: I am not talking about a strategy review about how they will be sold. I am talking about an after-the-fact review as to whether NAMA got its analysis right in the first place.

John Deasy: Hang on-----

John Deasy: I am questioning NAMA's methodology and its collection of data and decision-making with regard to analysing the data when it comes to a portfolio of properties. That is what I am asking and it is a fair point.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2014 (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: So once NAMA has sold at a net loss of €280 million, it does not take a look at where the market has gone since and whether its methodology is correct.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2014 (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: Fair enough.

John Deasy: By the time NAMA made the decision and when it came to selling this loan book - I was having a pint in Dungarvan - it would be fairly well known-----

John Deasy: Perhaps in Abbeyside.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2014 (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: At the time, there was a pretty firm realisation that the markets had turned - certainly in the Republic of Ireland and England. That did not just apply to residential property. Basically, people would know that. In respect of selling something like this, somebody might second guess NAMA and say that perhaps it should wait because everything had turned with regard to property prices,...

John Deasy: I have a question for the Comptroller and Auditor General concerning what has been said and reported in the media over the past couple of weeks. I will not attempt to involve him in any kind of political opinion. I know he said three or four weeks ago that he is planning to do the review. He has prepared and planned for that and it was in his schedule. From what NAMA has said...

John Deasy: That is what I am getting at.

John Deasy: We are separating that. NAMA has done that and that is fair enough.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2014 (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: Is the Chairman asking for an investigation on top of what the Comptroller and Auditor General is going to look at?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2014 (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: How will that work?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: On the review he had spoken about, and the internal report is part of that, I raised that in the last few meetings and I think we should push them for confirmation that the review he agreed to in committee will take place. He should be asked when that will start.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: And the Enterprise Ireland issue with regard to putting together a meeting.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Jul 2015)

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: Is the Chairman proposing we invite in the presidents of both institutes along with Mr. Kelly or with the HEA?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Jul 2015)
John Deasy: Mr. Kelly's report deals with the potential amalgamation of the Waterford and Carlow institutes. If he is going to be before the committee to discuss his report, surely we should ask the presidents of the two institutes and, perhaps, the two chairmen also to attend.
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 89
Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Deasy: I welcome Mr. Ó Foghlú, his officials and everyone else. I have a few separate questions. The first concerns the Residential Institutions Redress Act and the current position on the properties that were promised to be handed over by the State. As of February of this year, I believe 44 properties were transferred. I think Mr. Ó Foghlú commented that there were 17 others...
