Default Peter Mathews on Prime Time NAMA Special

Richard O'Rourke who works with Property Loan Expert Peter Mathews on telling the truth about NAMA's losses (probably €20 Billion) has examined the comments of FF Deputy Michael McGrath, the Vice Chairperson of the Oireachtas Finance Committee, on Tuesday night's Prime Time. It's clear that the FF TD, like Brian Lenihan, is an Olympic level NAMA bluffer.

None so blind as they that won’t see Banking Expert Peter Mathews on fixing Ireland's Banking Crisis

Is it too late to get bluffing into the London 2012 Olympics as a demonstration sport? FF and Green TDs would win all the medals - NAMA shows they are world class.

I was watching it and I found that boyo McGrath to have a Frank Fahey/Cock Roche level of arrogant ignorant sneering bluster.

Clearly a future leader of FF, so.

Got the same impression myself I must say - one to watch (especially if his hand is in the general vicinity of your wallet!)

RTE's problem is not the chairing of debate but rather panels which are too large IMO. They regularly have slots of 10 minutes to discuss important issues with 4 people (5 including chairman) all weighing in giving them about a minute and a half each when you account for various interruptions. That makes for poor debate, if you are going to have a panel of 4 people you need 40 minutes to discuss the matter. You should never have more than 2 people on a panel where there is a limited amount of time to discuss the issues.

Wait till the EU orders Anglo to be wound up, FF will spin it as they did their best but it was out of their hands cos the bog boys in the EU ordered them what to do. As the friends of FF skip off scott free with billions of our cash, while unemployment and emmigration soar.

Mathews explains irrefutably that NAMA will lose €13.5 Bn minimum and probably €20 Billion. No wonder they don't want a smaller panel.

How can a politican be expected to know how it will work. These are just muppets that are rolled out & RTE never ask the tough questions. It always finishes with a smart comment from the Fianna Failer or a "we`ve ran out of time & we`ll be returning to this subject no doubt in the next couple of weeks".

They have been entirely wrong on everything over the last 18 months. They dont know anything about property except that it is property developers & builders that fund their party.

By the way the IGB site has not been sold for €60 million.

Absolutely amazing that a top FF muppet believes that a loan is "performing" if interest is being rolled over. Its rolling over at 4% because the developer has no cash to reduce the capital & save himself some interest !!! but now he dont give a ******************** because it is the SPVs problem now !!!!!!

Does FF even know how many deals were non-recourse !!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
