‹ Order of Business NAMA separation of powers
Summary
Senator D’Arcy stresses that NAMA’s legislation was deliberately non-transparent and that investigations belong to the Garda and prosecution authorities.
I remind Members that the NAMA legislation was designed not to be open or transparent. People should remember that. The Minister for Finance does not work for the Garda Síochána or the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. The exclusive role of certain bodies that are in place is to deal with any wrongdoing that might occur.
