I am advised by NAMA that the Agency received 80 applications for the programme. Of these, I am advised that 3 members of staff reconsidered, leaving 77 expressions of interest. I am further advised that NAMA accepted 51 of these applications, in keeping with reducing staff numbers to 291 by the end of 2015.
