NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013) Mary Lou McDonald: Mr. McDonagh might not view people leaving NAMA, not serving proper cooling off periods, going to work for wealth funds or whatever and then, by some other means, being involved with going back to NAMA and acquiring properties as being problematic. However, in terms of the credibility and standing of the organisation, I strongly suggest to him it is a problem for members of the public and...

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013) Mary Lou McDonald: I feel as if I am on the set of an Agatha Christie drama. I will start with you, Mr. Daly. You indicated in your statement that the board investigates every allegation of impropriety. You indicated four complaints made to An Garda Síochána, two relating to former employees and two in respect of debtors. How many complaints or allegations of impropriety has the board considered...

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013) Mary Lou McDonald: I am raising it with you for two purposes, the first being that, whatever about the particulars of the turn of events that we are discussing here, it is not the first time that a complaint has been made in respect of NAMA’s handling of personal information, of business data. The second is that while I understand the pride you take in your organisation, which is very worthy, you are...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Mary Lou McDonald: I am sure Dr. Smith has indicated that she will pass on the names of those agencies. I raised the issue of the FEMPI legislation and the recoupment mechanism. What consideration, if any, has been given to that in the case of the section 38 agencies?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Mary Lou McDonald: That is a very useful clarification. Therefore, we can surmise from that that there is no legislative basis upon which the overpayments, the breaches or those sums paid to this very small number of individuals can be recouped.

I assume the correspondence of 5 November did precisely that.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Mary Lou McDonald: It would be useful if we could see a copy of that letter. In any event, it remains the view of St. Vincent's hospital that it is compliant. The hospital concedes, however, that it is paying three senior managers above the agreed ceiling. Mr. O'Brien stated that representatives of the hospital were present at the meeting in December. Was that on 12 December?
