I also warmly welcome the members of the Irish Deaf Society to the Visitors Gallery and concur with the remarks made by Members on both sides of House about being properly supportive of them.

As Senator Quinn reminded us, thankfully, we have had some good news about the economy. In that connection, I greatly welcome publication of the review of the National Asset Management Agency by the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, and his officials of its very successful activities to date, of which I note my friend, Senator Mark Daly, studiously avoided to make any mention, which is understandable, given his erroneous and false criticism of the agency's good work in the past.

We all know about NAMA and the lack of transparency in that regard.

It is meeting its objectives fully.

It is not transparent.

Senator Paul Coghlan to continue, without interruption.

It is responsible for about 15,000 jobs; it is supporting greatly the building industry and more is happening in that regard.

There is more, but most of it is happening behind the scenes without transparency.

Senator Paul Coghlan to continue, without interruption.

It will have redeemed more than 80% of senior debt by 2016, two years ahead of schedule.

There are plenty of properties for sale, but people are not being made aware that they are for sale.

Does Senator Paul Coghlan have a question for the Leader?

We should remember there has been €3 billion worth development in the Dublin docklands, including residential housing, which is so important for the capital and the country. I commend it for its great work and will not say long may it last, but it will be wound up ahead of schedule.

There would be no problem if it was open and transparent.

Remember that 80% of senior debt will be redeemed by 2016.
