NAMA employment allegations
The Leader objects to references to an absent Senator, who then defends allegations concerning former HSBC officials, NAMA and a related contract.
The Senator is not supposed to refer to somebody not in the House.
Comment on this
Senator Darragh O'Brien is a model of decorum and he should understand that it is an abuse of privilege. Senator Daly must either put up or shut up. He cannot come into this House and make the outrageous allegations that were made here last week regarding former officials of HSBC being employed by NAMA, which is unfounded, that one of them left and that a lucrative contract was awarded to a firm he is associated with. Those allegations are untrue and unfounded. The Senator involved should come in here and substantiate those allegations or be man enough to withdraw them.
