Derek Nolan: I suppose there is. The point is that the NTMA accepted what State Street was saying. If another company had not been able to verify the information, it is likely that we would have been caught out.

Derek Nolan: I welcome Mr. Corrigan and his officials. The NTMA has assumed a role in society it probably did not foresee five or six years ago. Its name is well known and the agency is very much in the public eye. I refer to an issue mentioned in the Comptroller and Auditor General's opening statement regarding transition management services and the State Street corporation. It is a complex issue,...

Derek Nolan: Therefore, the first contact was from Mr. Corrigan's side. State Street did not come to the NTMA first.

Derek Nolan: That was a forthright answer; we do not normally receive such forthright answers. Mr. Corrigan has said State Street, a company the NTMA hired, defrauded the State of €3.2 million, that the agency has got the money back and that an investigation is under way. Fraud is specific. The word "fraudulent" was used. It implies this was intentional, that State Street employees knew what...

Credit Union Bill 2012 (Resumed): Second Stage (Resumed) (14 Nov 2012)

Derek Nolan: I am delighted to speak on this important Bill. The first point is that the credit union movement is in need of regulation.

There is a need for regulation,...
