Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: So 34 of the 35,000 people are in receipt of allowances. This matter needs to be resolved. While as I have stated previously people are entitled to be paid for the work they do, if that pay breaches Government pay guidelines the issue must be addressed. With due respect to the HSE, we should not be discussing this matter today. It should have been sorted a long time ago.

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: I thank the Chairman and welcome the representatives of NAMA and the Department of Finance to this meeting. To put this in context, NAMA as a financial entity has had an enormous impact on Ireland Inc. Our role as a committee is to examine the use of taxpayers' money.

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: Does Mr. McDonagh not regard it as a reasonable suggestion that such an assurance be sought because they may not be connected with the debtor at that moment in time but subsequently could be?

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. McDonagh will appreciate that the original intention during the passage of the NAMA legislation was that NAMA would never be a conduit for people who had loans transferred to NAMA to buy them back at a significantly discounted value through circuitous routes. That feeds into undervaluation.

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: While I accept Mr. McDonagh's point, there is a slight difference in that NAMA is a separate vehicle established and paid for by taxpayers. It us ironic that half of IBRC's loans went to NAMA.
