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

Pearse Doherty: ...instead of deflecting it away. I asked him directly about the number of bidders. Imagine if, instead of avoiding that question, he had been upfront and had told us the information that was at his and at NAMA's disposal at that time, namely, that a bidder had withdrawn because of allegations of fixer's fees. Imagine if he had told us that bidders had withdrawn because they knew that...

Questions on Promised Legislation (29 Mar 2017)

Pearse Doherty: It is over six months since party leaders convened in Government Buildings to discuss a commission of investigation into NAMA and the sale of Project Eagle.

Other Questions: State Banking Sector Regulation (28 Feb 2017)

Pearse Doherty: This is a straightforward question on the sale of loan portfolios by banks and the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, to vulture funds. On my question on Project Eagle which was overruled, for the record, the Department flagged the question for disqualification before the Ceann Comhairle ruled on it.

Other Questions: State Banking Sector Regulation (28 Feb 2017)

Pearse Doherty: ...by this Government and its predecessor. In fairness, the Minister responded to me on the section 110 issue and he outlined that it was the Fianna Fáil Government that engineered that into the NAMA agenda before NAMA was even established. However, he is still going to sit back and allow the banks to sell people's homes to vulture funds. There is already a huge amount of damage done...

Pearse Doherty: ...required by the gardaí. Are we looking at a fresh build? What is happening with that? I understand it is before the Minister of State's time but we raised the issue with the former Minister of State and asked him to intervene with NAMA to buy the building. What has happened here is a complete waste of public money.

From his understanding from looking at the files within the Department, was there any suggestion at any time by the OPW that it should purchase this property from NAMA?
