Under the interim NAMA arrangements staff resources are provided by the NTMA. The NAMA Bill confirms this arrangement and also provides that NAMA may outsource certain activities and hire certain service providers. I am not in a position to comment on the details of individuals that have or will in the future be recruited to NTMA and assigned to NAMA. However, it is important to note that section 40 of the NAMA Bill requires that prospective staff members must meet specified requirements and must make a declaration of their interests before being assigned to NAMA.
