Fast-track loans for politicians most disturbing

THE revelation that an unknown number of Fianna Fáil politicians had fast-track loans from Anglo Irish Bank, with some of them amounting to millions of euro, is very disturbing.

This is especially the case when a large number of “assets” that supported loans provided by Anglo Irish Bank are going to be transferred to NAMA.

How can the public have confidence that the policy of paying over the odds for assets transferred to NAMA was entirely in the public interest until the full extent of the loans given to Fianna Fáil politicians by Anglo Irish, or any other bank, is made public and the identities of everyone associated in any way with assets that have been transferred to NAMA are fully revealed.
