Almost a quarter of Nama staff seek redundancy

Almost one quarter of the workforce at the National Asset Management Agency (Nama) have looked to leave the State’s bad bank as it edges towards its winding-down date.

Nama bosses have put a halt to a third of those seeking to leave the agency by the end of this year, however.

According to new figures provided by the Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan, the agency received 80 applications from staff seeking to avail of the generous terms in the agency’s voluntary redundancy programme announced earlier this year.
