Boyle: Party lacks confidence in NAMA solution

GREEN senator Dan Boyle has admitted his party lacks total confidence in the Government’s proposal to resolve the banking crisis.

Confidence would have to be “earned”, he said, and a crucial part of that process would be improving the legislation to establish the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA).

The legislation will go before the Dáil next month, with amendments expected to be made in October. The Greens will convene twice before the legislation is finalised to see whether members support it and, if so, what improvements they want to see.
