The National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) says it is studying a Supreme Court ruling given yesterday, which saw it lose its five year legal battle to prevent information about its functions being made available to members of the public.

The Supreme Court yesterday unanimously rejected arguments from the agency.

It claimed that it is not a public authority subject to freedom of environmental information requests.

It means members of the public and media are entitled to ask for information.

The judgment was given in a dispute about the status of NAMA, which arose when journalist Gavin Sheridan sought information in relation to the agency.

Ian Guider is markets editor with The Sunday Business Post.

He told Newstalk Breakfast there are doubts as to the amount of information that will be made available by NAMA.
