National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Nov 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...seo. Measaim go bhfuil sé truamhéalach nach dtuigeann an Rialtas cad go díreach atá i gceist anseo. Bhí mé ag argóint inné gur cheart dúinn an ainm Gaeilge, GNuBS, a úsáid in ionad NAMA. Tá luachaíocht á thabhairt don chaimiléireacht a tharla sa Stáit seo le 20 nó 30 bliain. Seachas luach an margadh fad-téarmacha íoc, ba chóir go mbeadh an luach reatha á íoc. Níl...

Mortgage Arrears: Motion (3 Nov 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...personal wealth hidden away which will not see the light of day here. We on the Opposition side of the House are being encouraged by the Government to support the bailout of these people through NAMA. What should happen is that empty and completed houses all around the country should be confiscated and given to local authorities so that if people end up on the street because of...

Leaders' Questions (8 Oct 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: NAMA can take instruction from the Minister for Finance, as it has done on 15 separate occasions since September 2009. I ask on this occasion that the Government, which includes the Minister, ask him to issue the required instruction to ensure the portion of Moore Street not currently designated as a national monument be designated and protected as such. The Minister said it should be a...

An Bille um Cheathrú Chultúir 1916, 2021: First Stage (11 Mar 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...that the Bill is being introduced today because Moore Street is once again under threat of destruction and redevelopment in a manner that is not befitting such an historic monument. This time it is the British shopping centres owner Hammerson, which was virtually gifted the site by the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, when Mr. Joe O'Reilly's property empire crumbled. It is a...

Mortgage Restructuring: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (20 Feb 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...collapse of regeneration schemes in my area and others in the city and country. Coupled with this, there is a need for a constitutional change to allow for a "use it or lose it" clause for derelict sites or derelict homes. The free transfer of empty apartments and houses held by NAMA to local authorities would also help address the social housing needs of struggling Irish families much...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2012: Discussion (Resumed) with National Newspapers of Ireland (7 Feb 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: .... I do not know why this is. Perhaps the freedom of information officer does not speak to the person who writes the parliamentary questions. Mr. Cullen mentioned two organisations, the NTMA and NAMA, one of which is not covered by the freedom of information legislation. He also mentioned that according to the legislation establishing Irish Water, it will not be covered by the freedom...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...to housing but the Government is determined to continue subsidising landlords in this way, despite the fact that it would be far more cost-effective to invest in the purchase of social housing via NAMA or otherwise. Is the Tánaiste aware that less than half of the €500 million used to subsidise private landlords is spent on social housing, which would come under the control of local...

Report of the Interdepartmental Working Group on Mortgage Arrears: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...to those whose mortgages are in arrears. We also need measures to prevent mortgages from becoming distressed. There must be write-downs. There are write-downs for businesses and there is NAMA for those who speculated but there is no NAMA for those who are in economic distress in respect of their mortgages. The solutions the Keane report suggested are minimalist. They are not radical...

Draft Commission of Investigation (Certain matters concerning transactions entered into by IBRC) Order 2015: Motion (Resumed) (10 Jun 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...also not only right and proper but it will recognise the public interest aspect because it is the public's money. Michael Geoghegan suggested one of the Blackstone officials should be on the NAMA advisory board. Whether that is right or wrong, there is a conflict of interest but nobody seemed to step in until that question was raised in this House. These are major questions. Did...

Closure of Army Barracks: Motion (4 Oct 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...such as the IDA to use for proper purposes, rather than making a profit on the back of it. If anyone goes to Clancy Barracks in my constituency, they will find it is sitting under the umbrella of NAMA because one of the big developers, P. Elliott, has collapsed and is in receivership. Most of the apartments are half built and sitting empty, and even those that are completed are sitting...

Select Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: Céim an Choiste (Atógáil) (2 Mar 2021)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...tamall de bhlianta anuas fuair an focal “An” in "An Post" bás. Bhí Post don ainm An Post ann ach tá an tseirbhís sin ag bogadh ar ais in dtreo na Gaeilge a chur sa teideal agus is é sin an lógó. I roinnt cásanna tá lógó ann agus níl aon ainm nó fhoclaíocht ann agus i roinnt cásanna eile is...

Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2009: Second Stage (8 Dec 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...derelict sites on which a sod has never been turned. The fiasco is a prime example of how business is conducted in this State. When discussing this Bill it is uncanny that we have the backdrop of NAMA, which is aimed at rescuing banks and protecting developers. The demise of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority is quite apt in this context. I wish I could say we have learned our...

Banking System: Motion (30 Mar 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...im mhídhaonlathach inniu, go háirithe toisc go bhfuil an Rialtas ag ceangal an oiread sin de thodhchaí an Stáit seo le dul chun cinn na mbanc agus leis an sealúchas atá tar éis dul isteach i NAMA go dtí seo. It is rare that I speak on finance motions. In a way, like many other citizens, I found it difficult to get to grips with the full scale of the horror that emerged when the...

Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Jun 2015)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: .... If they are on social welfare they cannot get rent allowance, but they cannot afford to rent privately. The reason developments are not happening is that most of the lands previously held by NAMA are now held by a different type of speculator offshore which has a profit margin in mind, be it 50% or 100%, which is well above the normal margin of 20%. The normal cost of building a...

Criminal Justice (Community Service) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2011 - Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Apr 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...are not high skill jobs. A look at any of our footpaths throughout the country would indicate these are tasks that should be carried out. A great number of derelict sites are under the control of NAMA. These could be cleaned and tidied up and changed into allotments or public spaces until such time as the economy bounces back. The parks department of the county council and the OPW...

Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed). (27 Apr 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: .... Has it sought to minimise the consequences for Ireland of the activities of this organisation? It has not done so to date. In fact, the Fianna Fáil-led Government sought an endorsement of the NAMA plans from Goldman Sachs and it has been happy to rely on that ever since. Is that a flawed endorsement? Is it to benefit Goldman Sachs? Is Goldman Sachs betting against us? Is it...

Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Jun 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...á na daoine seo anois ar an ghannchuid agus iad an-bocht de thoradh na polasaithe a ghlacadh le tamall anuas agus de bharr go bhfuil an oiread sin d'airgead an phobail dírithe ar na bancanna agus NAMA in ionad a bheith dírithe ar déileáil le bun fadhbanna ár sochaí nó leis an cheist i dtaobh an fáth go bhfuil na daoine seo bocht sa chéad áit. Feiceann muid agus feicfidh muid...
