Catherine Noone (Fine Gael)

It is a complete coincidence that I wanted to speak about something related to the matters raised by Senator Fidelma Healy Eames and half the House this afternoon. I welcome the idea currently being considered by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges to invite the leaders of various organisations to appear before us in the Seanad. One such leader - a point which today speaks for itself - is the chairman of NAMA. I understand this is currently under consideration. NAMA is the biggest financial enterprise ever undertaken in this country in our lifetimes and certainly in the course of the 24th Seanad. In view of the professional fees being racked up in NAMA, I would like the chairman to come before us and let us know how it is doing its business.
