Somebody has to have responsibility when NAMA is wound up. We cannot just fold it up and put it on a shelf and say, "Great job done". NAMA did some good work but there was obvious wrongdoing and fraud in the cases I mentioned including the Nemo Rangers lands in Cork and worse in Clomnel town with the Clonmel Arms Hotel, which I have raised here, and now the Clonmel Park Hotel and Mr. John Fraher. The Tánaiste said NAMA is satisfied it acted appropriately. How could it have acted appropriately when he went out of business, ceased trading in Ireland, went bankrupt, was trading in England and his tax number was continually used to put funds through here by other directors of the company, with the knowledge of NAMA? I have named these cases in the Dáil.
