Gaza: Statements (21 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: It is great to have the Minister of State here. We are all here speaking on the same matter, looking at the photos and the videos of what is happening in Gaza and the horrendous situation playing out right in front of our eyes. I utterly condemn the continuing Israeli military operations. I wish to speak about the fresh hell the Israeli Government has brought upon the Gazan people. There...

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion (21 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: I welcome Mr. McDonagh. A lot of questions have been raised, several of which strayed from the content of the letter of invitation set out at the beginning of the meeting. I do not think that was necessary. As to why Mr. McDonagh was invited to the meeting, Senator Higgins mentioned the institutional knowledge of NAMA and the inside knowledge that is integral to NAMA. Has there been...

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion (21 May 2025)

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion (21 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: Why did it take until the final year of NAMA to transfer the significant housing assets and developments to the LDA? We have had a significant housing crisis for at least a decade. Why is that the case? Does Mr. McDonagh know how many properties under NAMA control were left vacant or under-utilised during the height of the crisis? Is there potential to publish that data?

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion (21 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: Over the years, has NAMA ever refused offers from AHBs or local authorities due to commercial considerations? I know there are leasing and different agreements. Has it ever refused offers?

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach: Dissolution of National Asset Management Agency: Discussion (21 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: Mr. McDonagh mentioned a surplus of €5.2 billion coming to the State. Given the size of the original State guarantee and NAMA's control over tens of billions in distressed assets, does he think the return was commensurate with the scale of public exposure and the long-term costs to the taxpayer? Does he think more could have been done earlier in NAMA's lifespan to extract value...
