- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: It is dangerous for an organisation like this if it continues over Christmas. We need to be cautious. I would give NAMA's representatives a chance to answer these questions and say they would welcome an opportunity to do so.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: One issue that arose when NAMA's representatives were last here, in September, was that there was a revolving door, with information being passed from NAMA to the private sector. There are questions, beyond what the Chairman has said, that need to be answered. Are the constraints rigorous enough on people who work in NAMA when it comes to passing on information? NAMA's representatives...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Dec 2013)
John Deasy: Almost everyone has been following what has been carried in the media on NAMA in recent days. That is significant. Because the matter is so pressing, NAMA should be given an opportunity to respond to the committee immediately while these allegations are ongoing. It seems many people would like to see NAMA damaged and leaking information to the media is one way of doing this. We need to be...
- Public Accounts Committee: Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012: Discussion with National Asset Management Agency (26 Sep 2013)
John Deasy: Fair enough, I understand. I have another "how many" question. I apologise if this has been answered already but it goes back to those individuals who have worked in NAMA and who went on to work for a company that does business with NAMA.

John Deasy: ...developed lobbying system over there and eventually they were obliged to do something about it. While that has been talked about in Ireland, given the sums of money involved and the importance of NAMA to the taxpayer, can Mr. McDonagh give me an idea of how many of the aforementioned 50 people have gone to companies that have done or do business with NAMA? I was not present for the...

John Deasy: Is it the case that NAMA is not overly concerned about this?
- Public Accounts Committee: Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012: Discussion with National Asset Management Agency (26 Sep 2013)
John Deasy: I have a question that may be appropriate to ask of the chairman of NAMA. It probably is fair to state that Waterford's city centre has suffered a great deal over the past five years with the departure of businesses. My understanding is that NAMA is examining its assets around the country to ascertain how they can be rejuvenated and turned into viable options. Included among the sites is...
- Public Accounts Committee: Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012: Discussion with National Asset Management Agency (26 Sep 2013)
John Deasy: I will stay on the same point. Since its formation, how many sites, assets and buildings has NAMA disposed of to the IDA and its clients who are interested in investing in this country?
