Catherine Connolly: I am almost finished. When did the First Minister, Peter Robinson, tell Mr. McGuinness about PIMCO? I think my colleague asked about this earlier and Mr. McGuinness said that he came back and told Mr. McGuinness that PIMCO had withdrawn. When was that? Was that recorded? What did he tell Mr. McGuinness?

Catherine Connolly: I find that difficult to accept.

Catherine Connolly: It is because Mr. McGuinness has come here with a prepared statement. That is crucial for us in terms of a conflict of interest and what is before us - not allegations. One of the concerns before us is of conflict of interest - a whole chapter. So what Mr. Robinson told Mr. McGuinness about PIMCO is very important. I am asking him and he does not know - he is going to check.

Catherine Connolly: Mr. McGuinness can see that we are under time pressure. Did Mr. Robinson tell him that there was money involved and that there was a difficulty?

Catherine Connolly: Pressure in the Northern Ireland background is the other chapter. NAMA told the Comptroller and Auditor General that it could not ignore the political background in Northern Ireland. Extraordinarily, the chairman or CEO of NAMA stated that it would have preferred to have dealt with a vulture fund. Was Mr. McGuinness aware of this level of hostility? Does he agree with that statement?

Catherine Connolly: After the sale was completed, there was an extraordinary series of phone calls on the third or fourth day of the month. They set out that the former Vice President of America would phone the former First Minister and so on and asked what his number was and whether it was okay to phone him. Was Mr. McGuinness contacted?

Catherine Connolly: 5. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the number of houses that have been acquired and purchased by Galway City Council in each year from 2011 to date in 2016; the number of houses that have been constructed by the city council for each of those years; the number that are under construction; the number of houses that will be completed by the end of 2016...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Local Authority Housing Provision (17 Nov 2016)
Catherine Connolly: Galway city has 4,720 households on the waiting list, comprising 10,000 to 15,000 people, and that figure is rising. As I speak, 29 families with 79 children are homeless, 18 other families are at risk of becoming homeless and 20 people are sleeping rough. My question is very specific. What houses were built and what houses are going to be built?
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Local Authority Housing Provision (17 Nov 2016)
Catherine Connolly: I do not think the Minister of State heard what I said. I asked him what the Government is going to do. The local authority produced plans every single year and no funding was made available. I share Deputy Boyd Barrett's frustration with this type of reply. I want to welcome any positive news. I want to be crystal clear. Not one single social housing unit has been built in Galway...
