Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Investigation Expenditure (25 Sep 2018)

Mary Lou McDonald: Mr. Justice Cooke's report on NAMA, in particular the module one investigation of Project Eagle, which was to have been published at the end of June 2018, was extended to the end of December because of NAMA's failure to hand over all documentation relating to the sale of Project Eagle. I understand NAMA is now co-operating on that. Will that deadline for publication be met as indicated in...

Leaders' Questions (20 Feb 2018)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...also support the legislation Sinn Féin has brought forward to protect homeowners affected by sales to vulture funds. How about this for an idea? Will the Taoiseach issue a direction to the banks and NAMA today that under no circumstances should any domestic mortgages be sold to any vulture fund, either now or in the future? Will he make that phone call? Will he support the...

Public Accounts Committee: HIQA: Governance and Management of Conflict of Interest Issues (19 Oct 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: It is custom and practice. The last time Mr. McEnery was before us, he was wearing his National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, hat. He is welcome here this morning. How long has he been the financial adviser to Nursing Homes Ireland?

Public Accounts Committee: Health Information and Quality Authority: Financial Statement 2016 (28 Sep 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: Mr. Quinn mentioned issues around governance and corporate compliance. One of the things we discussed with Mr. McEnery, albeit in terms of NAMA, was the issue of conflicts of interest. Is Mr. Quinn satisfied that conflicts of interest are properly catered for? I note from his CV that he has been a health adviser for quite some time. I assume he has some relationship with nursing homes or...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Mar 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: We now have elaborated on the position. It is not just the Minister who has threatened to injunct. We have had similar sabre rattling from NAMA. Was it Mr. Frank Daly who spoke to the Chairman about the issue around legal action and NAMA?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Mar 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: So now we have the head of NAMA, the Minister and officials sabre rattling with the committee.

Report of the Committee of Public Accounts re National Asset Management Agency’s sale of Project Eagle: Motion (29 Mar 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...of the Comptroller and Auditor General. That is it in a nutshell. As the Minister knows, the Comptroller and Auditor General was subjected to a vicious and an unprecedented attack from the board of NAMA. He was subjected to a very similar attack in intent, if not in tone, from the Department of Finance. Long before the Project Eagle report was even published, NAMA and the Department of...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Inquiry (8 Mar 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: I want to raise two issues. First, in respect of the commission on NAMA and Project Eagle, I hear a kind of reticence in the Taoiseach's presentation that there is somehow a question mark over whether there will in fact be a commission. When we undertook our examination in the PAC, it was never understood or intended to be an alternative to the commission we had all agreed to and signed up...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jan 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: That is fine. In fact, the remarks I made were simply to clear an inaccuracy. I will have to look again at the transcript of the meeting. NAMA officials had posited a scenario as to where this had originated and we had established that it was not true. To me, that much is duly noted.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jan 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: There is no question of NAMA not receiving fair procedure. The agency got a perfectly fair hearing.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: Chairman, it is contemptuous to treat the committee in this way. Sadly, it seems to be part of NAMA's pattern. We can put that to them. We certainly need time to study the statements, but I think the representatives from NAMA need to understand that as a consequence of their approach this will not be their final appearance before the committee. There is no doubt in my mind that we will...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: I am not sure that we are. It is clear to me that we actually do not have the contemporaneous notes from 10 March. Will NAMA get them and provide them to us? I am not referring to an e-mail. I am referring to the contemporaneous notes - accurate ones.

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: Let me be more explicit and let us not confuse ourselves or people who may be watching the proceedings. The narrative thus far for NAMA has been that an approach was made by PIMCO. A reverse approach was made through Brown Rudnick in respect of the Project Eagle portfolio. When we had a conversation about that at one stage I said it was interesting. I wondered how it had occurred to PIMCO...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: So although Mr. Daly recognised and acknowledged that PIMCO came forward on 10 March to make a disclosure to NAMA, because it was clearly concerned to stay within the law and the regulations, that in fact it was less than complete with the information it gave to NAMA. Does that remain his testimony?

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: .... Stewart and Mr. Hanna. They picked up the theme again regarding Mr. Cushnahan and the success fees or fixer's fees, whatever term was used. Mr. Rice said the Project Eagle process:had been with NAMA for several months referenced April/May 2013. This development went back to the origination of the deal with PIMCO and the proposal for an acquisition fee. The proposed split was...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...: "In April 2013, PIMCO was approached by Mr. Tuvi Keinan, a partner at the law firm Brown Rudnick who then introduced PIMCO to Mr. Ian Coulter of Tughans and Mr. Frank Cushnahan", who was part of NAMA at the time, given that he was a member of NAMA's Northern Ireland advisory committee.

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: In April 2013, PIMCO was approached by Brown Rudnick and introduced to Tughans, in the person of Mr. Ian Coulter, and Mr. Frank Cushnahan, who was a member of NAMA's Northern Ireland advisory committee. From their point of view, it was not unreasonable for Mr. Rice to reference a NAMA involvement back to April-May 2013, given that it was the PIMCO experience. That is what that reference in...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: On 11 March 2014, Mr. Stewart had become aware that as far as PIMCO and Mr. Tom Rice were concerned - Mr. Stewart says it is wrong - there was a NAMA involvement in the transaction going back to April-May 2013.

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

Mary Lou McDonald: They are your notes, and it was Mr. Rice's impression, and he echoes it in their correspondence with the committee in this month of November that they understood there was a NAMA involvement in the arrangement going back to April or May 2013. Mr. Stewart disagrees. That was their impression.
