When this issue arose previously, I went to my local authority and raised with it the 100 houses offered to it by NAMA. I was shown a schedule of what was offered to each local authority by NAMA, the houses that were taken up and the reason for the rejection of particular houses in specific locations. Some of them were expensive properties in the wrong locations and in other cases there was no infrastructure in place to service the sites. My local authority was able to explain satisfactorily to me. Every local authority should able to do likewise because they have the same information. The Deputy asked that NAMA be requested to provide a list of the 7,000 properties. That would be a long list. I do not want to put undue work on the system. I suggest that she asks her local authority for a list of what was accepted and rejected by it in regard to the offer by NAMA.
