    From my understanding NAMA was set up to minimise losses so this has to be good news or am I missing the point? n

    I think my point was that the head line suggests that Nama are in profit by €247 million , when they lost 6 times that amount last year. Misleading much? Why so many red down thumbs for pointing that anomaly out? Seanie, fingers and Bertie and the boys must be online today…

    The only real important figure is the pre tax profit of €11,000,000 which is a start!!! Pre tax profit is due to tax credits from previous losses according to the last word on today fm
