Lenihan shows too much faith in NAMA

THE “Minister for Banking” has insisted NAMA will be able to resist any legal challenges that may come its way. Notwithstanding the fact that such writs will be coming from some of the smartest shysters in the country, such an assertion begs the following question.

Could anyone, with hand on heart, say they actually have as much faith in Finance Minister Brian Lenihan as he apparently has in his own department’s legislative mandarins?

Because, in all likelihood, Minister Lenihan is simply regurgitating the soothing assurances he’s been given by the bureaucrats in Finance.
