Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)

Pearse Doherty: It is. That is why when Mr. Carville says this is a matter for the NTMA, it is not. It is actually a matter for this legislation. What is the pay of the most senior people in NAMA at the minute?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)

Pearse Doherty: The chief executive is paid €440,000. I presume there are people at a very senior level who are below that number.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)

Pearse Doherty: The legislation states they will go into the NTMA and be seconded into this unit. Some of them are already employed by the NTMA and they may go back to their original roles. They will keep all of their wage structures despite the fact that their responsibilities will change because NAMA is being wound up. Is that correct? Is that what the legislation states?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)

Pearse Doherty: If they do not require the person in NAMA who was getting hundreds of thousands of euro, according to this legislation they still have to be paid hundreds of thousands of euro even though the resolution unit may not need their expertise. Is that what the legislation says?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)

Pearse Doherty: I am not talking about the chief executive. I made it very clear - there is an old structure below that. I am not individualising it. I do not even know whether that person is seconded and will go back to another role. I am not making it about any individual.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)

Pearse Doherty: The intention is also to wind up the IBRC before the end of the year and transfer whatever remaining assets it has. The intention was to dispose of assets in Russia and Ukraine in 2024. Will Mr. Carville outline those assets for the committee and their value? Eye-watering fees are being charged by the special liquidator to liquidate the IBRC. The taxpayers feel they were taken for a ride...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Can we legislate for that? Why do we not put in this legislation that the C and AG should do a special report on the liquidation? I would like to know if the €310 million that has been spent so far on liquidating this entity was actually value for money. Why did the Department not do that? What is to stop us doing it now?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)
