Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Appropriate Use of Public Land: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. John Coleman:

I do not think it is appropriate for me to speak for NAMA which is well able to account for itself. That said, I do not know from where the notion has come that somehow NAMA has injured housing delivery. My understanding is that since 2014-15 it has funded and enabled the delivery of approximately 25% of all housing in the country and that one of its core business models is funding housing delivery.
