THE NATIONAL MANAGEMENT Assets Agency (NAMA) has said that no evidence has been passed on to it about any impropriety involving staff members.
In the Seanad today, Senator Daragh O’Brien said he had information in his possession that shows impropriety by employees, including the leaking of information.
He told TheJournal.ie that he could not go into too much detail as of yet but said that more information would be forthcoming.
In a statement this evening, NAMA said the “Senator’s comments in the Seanad this afternoon suggest that he has evidence of impropriety involving staff members of NAMA.
“He has not shared any such evidence with NAMA. Nor has NAMA received any such evidence from any other party.”
The statement went on to say that “if the Senator or any other party has evidence of any impropriety, they are legally obliged, under Section 19 of the Criminal Justice Act 2011, to bring it to the immediate attention of the Garda Siochana”.
Leaked information
O’Brien said NAMA is the largest property management company in the world and has responsibility for €74 billion in loans, adding that he needed to know today whether the Garda Commissioner has been requested to carry out a “detailed investigation” into alleged “corruption and impropriety in NAMA”.
“It is crucial that the Taoiseach, the Minister for Finance or the Minister for Justice and Equality come before the House today to make a statement on this matter, which is so serious that it could undermine NAMA and the property and financial services sectors,” he said.
He called on the Taoiseach, the Minister for Finance or the Minister for Justice and Equality to come before the House and confirm whether the Garda Commissioner has been requested to carry out an investigation.
The gardaí confirmed to TheJournal.ie that a complaint had been received from NAMA in relation to a former employee and that they were conducting an investigation into the matter. The added that their investigation was at an advanced stage.

This is a terrible tragedy. Many families torn to pieces, RIP to the deceased.
Just beyond words sad, especially with so many fighting so hard to save lives currently
Rip
Unusual that he was identified so quickly these days
@Maurice Dodd: was a local in a very small rural community where everyone knows everyone locals out driving seen things unfold on the roads. The cops had an elert out to people with his name and not to approach he was dressed like a cop and had a car similar to a cop car so his name was out there while it was happening. Scary stuff
Very sad, RIP.
Thoughts and prayers.
Shocking Sad rip to the victims
If only they had more guns! They could have protected themselves.
@Al Fresco: thats america num pthy
@James Rowan: Canadians own more guns than Americans per captia butt head
@Karllye kripton: fake news from you again..tsk tsk..
@Karllye kripton: thats canada worst mass shooting,they may have more guns than america but when was the last mass shooting in canada,you num pthy
@Karllye kripton: Rubbish.

Think it’s updated to 17 dead now. Very very sad. Shooter owned a local business & properties .
They must need some gun control
@Sean M: I hope that’s sarcasm. It’s rare and tho it’s now 16 dead I believe it’s the worst shooting they’ve had.
@Sean M: considering far less people will die from guns in countries that have gun proper control than in America maybe they should consider it.
@johnny onion eye: officially the worst here in history. You can get guns for hunting here takes a while strict laws and licencing. Rare but it tends to happen in rural areas. He was a denturist well known and respected man. Was very ore meditated who knows if he had a psychotic break of some sort
@Sean M: I think Canadian people take a different attitude to gun legislation compared with their Big Neighbours.
Awful news RIP for all the people who were killed and I hope the injured people will get better . .
Very sad R.I.P. How many of our front line hero’s have been lost or will loose due to the usual stall wort classist decisions being made, no preparation for PPE.. Then bought 1/4 billion worth of feathered turkey from China and 1 in 10 seemingly with covid overall are health care front line people.
@Agenda21: What are you ranting about? That made little to no sense
@ihcalaM: Think he needs to go back to sleep.
@ihcalaM: I know ihcalaW what more can I say?
@Richard: what about yourself, richy need sleep also like amazballs and all that nonchalant nonsense?
@Agenda21: Na I’ve had my four hours I’m good. Is it too early or too late for a beer?
@Richard: ask an alcoholic non passive for that and you know its true
@ihcalaM: who’s social media identity have you hijacked ihcalaW 2 feed neo-liberal capitalists while filling people that don’t agree with you insulted, in the ffg handbooks of ar5e holes seeming
@Agenda21: Dude?
@Agenda21: stoll wort. Jesus.
@Agenda21: absolute clipe
@Richard: never to late or to early to start
@Dan Moran: I agree
He killed a cop, was taken into custody and then later died. Hmmm.
@Sean Fahey: He was shot prior? Not all gunshot wounds kill immediately.
@Sean Fahey: Pretty sure he wasn’t taken into custody, sounds like it all ended near a gas station
@Sean Fahey: Are you trying to divert attention from these horrendous murders of 19 people to the action of the police officers called upon to deal with this nightmare? You seem to have lost all sense of morality. You probably don’t even know how sick this is?
have your say
