NAMA advises me that it does not own any properties. Clearly there are NAMA debtors who own properties which are leased to state agencies and who derive income from them. The properties are leased to the State by these debtors on an arms-length basis. NAMA's primary concern is whether a property is generating cash flow that allows debt to be repaid by a debtor. NAMA informs me that once the due diligence process is fully complete and its management information systems fully developed, it will be possible to extract data on tenancies attached to property under the control of its debtors but such information is not currently available.
