Dáil debate on NAMA will this week move to the committee stage at which some 250 amendments will be discussed.

The Labour Party has tabled 56 amendments which are designed to increase supervision by the Oireachtas of the NAMA process, place some restrictions on the otherwise limitless powers given to the Minister for Finance, ensure greater transparency in the process, provide additional protection for the taxpayer, reopen the flow of credit to small businesses and impose a two year moratorium on applications for repossession orders on family homes by participating financial institutions.
