As far as I am aware there is no impediment to selling the units and it is expected that sales will be closed over the summer and the units will be ready for occupation immediately thereafter. However, if Deputy Ellis has specific information I would be willing to pursue the matter with the chief executive and chairperson of NAMA. My Department and, I am sure, the local authority considers it critical that the houses are allocated at the earliest opportunity.
