John McGuinness: I will not delay Mr. McDonagh any further as we have been here since 10.30 a.m. NAMA, the National Asset Management Agency, seeks charges on properties and unencumbered assets of borrowers.

John McGuinness: I just wanted to see if Mr. Frank Daly changed his spots in any way. Old loyalties did hard. In an article on the Dellway v. NAMA court case, a barrister made the point that the client of NAMA is entitled to all of the information relevant to all files including valuations and so forth. Does the agency share all that information with all its clients?

- Public Accounts Committee: National Asset Management Agency Financial Statements 2013 (18 Dec 2014)
John McGuinness: I would love to believe the mediation process is as was described by NAMA earlier. It might be in many cases. However, in some of the cases we have heard, there are serious doubts about it being a fair and balanced process. It does cost the citizen an enormous amount of money to pursue any action. There are not many who could have gone to battle with the agency and pay €2 million...

Members try...
