Mick Wallace: When the assets were moved to NAMA for more than €30 billion it was not expected that the agency would just get its €30 billion back. The assets were valued at over €74 billion before they went to NAMA. That was their book value in the banks. It was expected that they would reach somewhere in between, at least, which would put the figure around €60 billion. The...

Other Questions: NAMA Operations (16 May 2018) See 4 other results from this debate

Mick Wallace: The Minister says it is a matter for the board of NAMA, but is it one for him, given that NAMA publicly rubbished the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Séamus McCarthy, when he published his report? If he had been Minister at the time, would he have challenged NAMA on its treatment of Mr. McCarthy?

Public Private Partnership on Capital Infrastructure: Statements (26 Apr 2018)

Mick Wallace: ...does not do so because it could not care less about the Act. According to the law, companies are obliged to report wrongdoing to the Garda. At the same time, it is grand if they do not do so because at most they will receive a slap on the wrist. NAMA has not even been given a slap on the wrist. The same applies in the case of the Construction Contracts Act 2013. This legislation...

Mick Wallace: I am not making allegations. I am stating facts. I want the Taoiseach to dig deeper. Not only does NAMA have a tendency to play a bit footloose with criminal law, but it seems to care little for the data protection law. Two months ago, the Data Protection Commissioner found that NAMA was in breach of its obligations under data protection law regarding requests for data from the O'Flynn...

Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (18 Apr 2018)

Mick Wallace: ...along with the rest of us. I do not know how he found time to do so many things as the text messages were so long. It was mad, but they were always very interesting. We had many discussions about NAMA and both agreed that it was a horror scene. His experience in the banking world meant that much of the time he knew where the bodies were buried. It gave him great insight and he...

Other Questions: Vacant Sites (27 Mar 2018)

Mick Wallace: ...and guess who has the most sites on it. It is Dublin City Council because it is a public body. The HSE has two and the Office of Public Works, OPW, has two. The National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, has a site on it. The landbanker is not being caught by this Bill. It does not work. It is not a proper land tax. Does the Minister have an interest in this? It is the biggest problem...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: NAMA Operations (27 Mar 2018) See 3 other results from this debate

Mick Wallace: NAMA's approach to the control and retention of data borders on the criminal. There have been two cases in the past month in this regard. In one case, NAMA has been heavily criticised for its approach to data and information held within the agency. The Data Protection Commissioner found that NAMA was in breach of its obligations under data protection law in its response to a request for...

Project Ireland 2040: Statements (Resumed) (21 Feb 2018)

Mick Wallace: ...It has become too big a problem for too many people as they try to put a roof over their heads. Some institutions have a cartel, particularly in Dublin, and since REITs came in we have turned a blind eye to NAMA selling all its property to them for peanuts. We took this issue up with the then Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, who spoke of the professional landlord taking over...

Other Questions: Freedom of Information Legislation (14 Dec 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

Mick Wallace: ...needs to be looked at. Currently, it is only an offence under the FOI Act to destroy a record after a request has been received in relation to that record. We have a situation, for example, where NAMA can destroy all the emails of staff 12 months after they have left and it is not illegal. Is that right? Should it be that way? Does the Minister agree this is information that is in the...
