Timeline of section on Criticism

"The criticisms are disputed by the Government. The Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Mary Coughlan has defended the creation of the agency saying it was not a bailout for the banks, one of the charges made against it.[7]"

It appears strange that the Government's response to the criticisms which were made in July and August 2009 (Notes 10,11 and 12) is supported by a reference to a RTE article dated in April. Perhaps the the second sentence above should read "Speaking to the Daíl on the 9th April 2009, Tánaiste Mary Coughlan said that the National Assets Management Agency is not a bailout for the banks."

It is about ensuring people can access credit

I didn't think the quote adds much, especially in an introduction; the Bill is very clear that this is its purpose, so I just changed it to It is proposed that NAMA ..., primarily with a view to improving the availability of credit markmc (talk) 17:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

...and bailing out the banks and developers ;-) Snappy (talk) 19:36, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly - the quote from the Minister makes it sound like a matter of opinion what NAMA is intended to achieve, whereas the bill sets out its intentions very clearly. Now, it's certainly a matter of great debate what the bill will achieve, but that debate can be covered in the criticisms section.

Basically, I think the quote in the starts the article off on a quite a non-neutral footing. See WP:AVOID markmc (talk) 19:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
