I am advised by NAMA that the breakdowns of the costs and supplier sought by the Deputy are as set out below.

Total spend on advisers, consultants, lawyers and auctioneers: inception to 2014.

Legal, consulting and advisory fees as per the published accounts for 2010 to 2014 and include invoices paid to suppliers and the movement in expense accruals.

Note: NAMA do not make any payments to PR firms directly; payments are made by the NTMA and recharged to NAMA via the NTMA General recharge.

Top twenty cumulative payments to suppliers: inception to 2014

Note: Top twenty supplier payments above are the cumulative of all expense types outlined in part one of the response which includes due diligence expenses incurred at the inception of NAMA which were later recovered from the Participating Institutions.
