Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Shane Cassells: May I ask about their attitude? The mind boggles when one considers their attitude towards completed units. They did not have the wherewithal to grasp that potential. What is their attitude now to dealing with NAMA at the height of a crisis and given the fact that the tenure of NAMA is coming to an end?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Shane Cassells: On the planning side, with the in-house consultation team NAMA has, what are the implications of the new planning framework for the agency's land?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Shane Cassells: Disruptive strategy is a good name for it. Mr. McDonagh spoke of problems with regard to the local infrastructure housing activation fund, LIHAF, and I understand he will address this with Deputy Kelly. Perhaps Mr. McDonagh will elaborate on that.

Shane Cassells: The report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland was published yesterday and, along with the appointment of a new Garda Commissioner, we hope that it will herald a new dawn for policing in Ireland. However, the Garda needs resources, as the Minister well knows, and gardaí are still forced to work in substandard conditions, nowhere more so than in County Meath. The...

Shane Cassells: I am very interested in where the Minister intends to go with this monstrous pylon project, as are my constituents in County Meath and those of my colleagues, Deputies Niamh Smyth and Brendan Smith, who are present, in County Cavan.
