- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: I welcome Mr. McDonagh and Mr. Williams. I was involved in the NAMA debates when the legislation was before the Seanad. As I have said, I envisaged that there would probably be a second or third NAMA Bill and, with the benefit of hindsight, there probably should have been. On a macro level, Mr. McDonagh and the former chairman, Mr. Daly, deserve great credit for achieving what they set out...

- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: There is a notional loss in that because of that mistake.
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: It arose through our deliberations on Project Eagle that there was a decision not to carry out current valuations, which had been a requirement from July of that year in the code the Minister had set out for disposals. We relied, therefore, on a 2009 valuation as opposed to current ones. Can Mr. McDonagh recall why that was done?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: Yes, that is an interest declared before the Committee of Public Accounts of the previous Dáil, which I will come to in a moment.
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: The argument is it may have been valued as less, in any event.
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: Was it a failing of the SCSI that unqualified people were enabled to perform the appraisals?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: I turn to the converse of that, which is where I gained the experience to which Mr. McDonagh referred. This was declared in the previous term of the Committee of Public Accounts, that I had worked as an auctioneer and, on one occasion, had been handling a receivership file for individual private homes. If someone was selling a three-bedroom semi-detached property at that stage, by NAMA's...
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: I am bound to suggest that perhaps we did not focus as much on the larger valuations as we did on the lesser ones, and that might have been a lesson, although it is ten years ago now. When we got to the sale of Project Nantes, the Avestus portfolio had already performed well because there had been two large and very profitable disposals and others that broke even. Then we came to Project...
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: I know it is not the way it works generally. I am saying that, in the context of this and, similarly, of Project Eagle, it is a matter of fact that valuations were not done, that competitive tension was not sought in the normal way and that mistakes were made in aspects of the valuation. My question, in effect, is whether this was looked at in isolation and decided that, as one of the 800...
