Public Accounts Committee

NAMA Financial Statements 2022 and Special Report 116 of the Comptroller and Auditor General

9:30 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

This is where we have the major land bank, as well as in Kildare. We have sites there and we have identified them. We have told the Minister that the Government should hold onto these, that they should not be sold and that they should be transferred to wherever the Government wants to transfer them to. However, NAMA will finish its work in 2025 and housing will be built. When the chairman came in in 2019, we had our first meeting with the then Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe. We had our subsequent meetings with the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael McGrath. We have been steadfast in saying this, and they have both agreed with our proposition that this is the right thing to do.
