Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: NAMA Transactions (17 Apr 2019)

Mick Wallace: The question relates to the UN special rapporteur's letter on Ireland which states that 93% of NAMA assets have been sold to foreign investors. I am not sure where the UN rapporteur got his figures but I would expect NAMA to know exactly how much it has sold and to whom. It appears that this is not the case. In a press release last week, NAMA stated that 69% of its asset sales went to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: NAMA Transactions (17 Apr 2019)

Mick Wallace: There is a play on language here. Of the €74 billion that went into NAMA, what percentage ended up with foreign entities? The Committee of Public Accounts report into Project Eagle from 2016 showed that NAMA had sold 20% of its entire debt of €74 billion to one company, Cerberus. This works out at €14.5 billion, whether one calls it loans or assets. This included...

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (17 Apr 2019)

Mick Wallace: It will not be the same without me. There are many challenges facing Europe, many of which are connected. Two of those are the manner in which so many aspects of terrorism are carried out and global warming. There are many terrible things happening in the world in pursuit of oil. One does not need to be a rocket scientist to work out that the trouble in the Middle East has, from the...

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (17 Apr 2019)

Mick Wallace: Julian Assange languishes in Belmarsh high-security prison near London for the minor crime of jumping bail. He is under threat of extradition to the USA where he is very unlikely to receive a fair trial.

National Children's Hospital Costs: Statements (17 Apr 2019)

Mick Wallace: This is nothing personal. Believe it or not, I do not believe the Minister is the one making these mad decisions so I do not hold him to account. I believe, however, that the Government is behaving recklessly in how it is handling this matter. The refusal to re-tender and address the nature of the contract was a serious mistake, and it will cost us close to €500 million. I can only...
