View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 249 and 259 together.
As previously advised, as Minister for Finance I am happy to respond to questions on general policy matters relating to NAMA. However it would not be appropriate for me to comment on individual cases, as I do not have a role in the day to day business decisions of the Agency.
As the Deputy is aware, NAMA operates a dedicated email address, oir@nama.ie, to enable TDs and Senators to raise any matter directly with the Agency. NAMA informs me that the specific cases you raise have already been submitted by you to NAMA's dedicated Oireachtas email address and that the Agency has responded fully. I have, however, forwarded the supplementary details you have submitted with these Parliamentary Questions to NAMA for their consideration. Should the Deputy wish to follow up in this regard, NAMA would be happy to discuss or provide further clarification.
I would encourage the Deputy, and indeed any member of the Oireachtas with a similar query, to avail of the outlined email service which NAMA provides for TDs and Senators. I am assured by NAMA that all matters which are brought to its attention via this forum are fully, and promptly, responded to.
