NAMA has made thousands of properties available to local authorities around the country for social housing. However, not all such properties are suitable for social housing. The local authorities, working with the Housing Agency, will make the call on the properties that are offered. A significant number of houses have come from NAMA into the public or local housing system. In addition, we announced three separate affordability measures at the beginning of the year which are helping young couples and individuals to get new homes, which will happen as those homes are built over the course of this year, next year and the following year. Deputy Scanlon can send me a note on the particular scheme he is talking about and while NAMA does not come under the remit of my Department, I will raise the issue with it.
