NAMA left with bill of €8m for staff termination payments

The National Asset Management Agency (NAMA), established 17 years ago to manage toxic loans from the 2008 financial crisis, has been officially dissolved. The winding down process resulted in a €7.96m bill for staff termination payments, covering 54 employees. Of this, €4m was allocated for ex-gratia redundancy payments, with €1.53m paid in salaries during garden leave. Retention payments totaled €1.13m, and seven staff were transferred to the NTMA's Resolution Unit. NAMA's 2024 annual report had projected a €12.4m payout, but current figures include payments made in 2025 and future obligations through 2027. Additionally, NAMA transferred €22m in residential assets, €50m in cash, and €425m in property assets to other agencies.

The National Asset Management Agency (Nama), which was dissolved after 17 years, has incurred nearly €8 million in termination payments for its 54 employees this year. These payments include €4 million in ex-gratia redundancy payments, €1.53 million in salary during gardening leave, and €1.13 million in retention payments.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about Nama's financial obligations and restructuring without overtly favoring any political stance. While the topic involves government operations and public finances, the framing remains neutral, focusing on data and official statements rather than taking a党
