Although NAMA might be paying 168 developers to manage their own property, in today’s edition of Iris Oifigiuil we see the other side of the coin as NAMA has receivers appointed to 11 companies, of which eight are new companies which have not been subject to NAMA foreclosure action before. 10 of the 11 companies are part of Michael Whelan’s Moritz group, one company shown at the end is entirely separate. NAMA has already had receivers appointed to some companies in the Moritz group and there is on-going litigation in Dublin’s High Court where Moritz is being represented by another NAMA developer, Noel Smyth.
