The National Asset Management Agency has been established as a body corporate and is independent in the performance of its functions under the National Asset Management Agency Act 2009. NAMA has a Board of Directors and a commercial remit under the legislation. The role assigned to the Minister is set out in the legislation. The desirability or otherwise of having a Minister of State with specific responsibility for NAMA is a matter for the Taoiseach.
