Report of the Committee of Public Accounts re National Asset Management Agency’s sale of Project Eagle: Motion (29 Mar 2017)

Peter Burke: In the National Asset Management Agency Act 2009 the word "expeditious" is mentioned twice. We must be very fair. The NTMA is now issuing ten-year bonds at 0.33% and treasury notes at negative yields. They peaked at 14% in July 2011 and NAMA played its part in getting this debt off the State balance sheet. My final point is on the terms of the commission of investigation-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of the Credit Union Sector: Discussion (23 Mar 2017)

Peter Burke: I thank the speakers for their time.

The need for risk-weighted calculation was highlighted in the hearings. Is the witness...
