Question:

133. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance apart from the recent case which has been referred to An Garda Síochána, if National Asset Management Agency has since its inception identified any other possible breaches of confidentiality whereby commercial agency belonging to the agency has been used or removed in an unauthorised fashion by an employee of the agency and, if so, if he will provide details of the number of such cases and if he will make a comprehensive statement of the action taken in each case.

Written answers

Minister for Finance

I am advised by NAMA that, apart from the recent case which has been referred to An Garda Síochána, it has not identified any other possible breaches of confidentiality involving an employee of the Agency. The Deputy may wish to also consider my response to a Parliamentary Question from Deputy Pearse Doherty (38531/12, 20th September 2012), which addresses the safeguards in place by NAMA to prevent breaches of confidentiality by existing and former NAMA employees.
