Greens to demand changes in NAMA legislation

THE Green Party will demand that the NAMA legislation be changed to ensure that taxpayers’ exposure is as small as possible.

Party chairman and finance spokesman Dan Boyle said NAMA, the review of the Programme for Government, and the December Budget, would be three crucial tests of the coalition’s ability to survive its full term.

He acknowledged the concerns of both party members and the wider public on NAMA, the state agency which will buy €90 billion of property loans from the banks in a bid to restore them to health.
