I received this official NAMA question and answer sheet from a member of the Fourth Estate on the day the draft legislation was released but then I noticed that it didn’t appear on the DoF website so I never linked to it. In any case, it turns out that it is now on the NAMA website. It is a very interesting document containing plenty of discussion about issues not addressed in the draft legislation itself.

Here‘s a link to an article I wrote on NAMA for today’s Sunday Independent.

I noted last week that a new talking point about NAMA was emerging which went beyond the old canard that “it doesn’t matter” how much we pay for bad bank assets. The new talking point actually suggests that we will be better off if we overpay for these assets. I found it interesting that the new talking point appeared today in two, highly influential, guises.

Brendan Keenan has an interesting article on NAMA in today’s Irish Independent: you can read it here.
