Pearse Doherty: ...that is questionable. In terms of legal fees, and particularly this section B which deals with the banking issue, I understand there is the potential for numerous legal challenges - I refer to NAMA and all the rest - that the Department has to face down. In terms of last year's outturn and also this year's Estimate, and I know Estimates are "guesstimates", the Minister is guessing how...

First is the mortgage arrears crisis. It...

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Finance: Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (27 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: ...this based on letting them carry the losses forward? Otherwise, it will be a drag on the banks in terms of stress testing and so on. It is a drag on the banks we have created as a result of the NAMA Bill, because other financial institutions do not have this drag on them. Is that the prime motivator of this section?

Written Answers — Department of Finance: NAMA Debtor Agreements (5 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: .... To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to debtors within the National Asset Management Agency applying pressure to commercial tenants with upward-only rent leases; and if NAMA has any policy which encourages debtors to engage with tenants on rents, rather than pursue them through expensive court battles and potentially close tenant businesses down.

Written Answers — Department of Finance: NAMA Portfolio Issues (5 Nov 2013)

Pearse Doherty: 217. To ask the Minister for Finance his views on whether it is acceptable that the National Asset Management Agency will make available the names of developers not in NAMA, but will not state who is in NAMA, for the purposes of tenants wishing to establish if their landlords are in NAMA and therefore if they may be eligible for NAMA's assistance in rental contract negotiations.

Other Questions: Arts Funding (22 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: I agree with the position in respect of NAMA when it comes to living spaces. I am encouraged by the Minister's reply on College Green, but his failure to secure that property two years later is quite disappointing. Can the Minister look at the properties within his own Department? I did an analysis of Údarás na Gaeltachta buildings at the start of this year, and over half of them...

Other Questions: NAMA Staff Qualifications (3 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: ...the fact that more clarity is needed. The Department budgeted for 250 mortgage-to-rent applications to be processed this year but as far as I know, only 47 have been completed to date. What additional clarity is needed? The issue of NAMA housing was also mentioned. Does that play a role in the context of social housing and in terms of those under threat of homelessness? I am glad...

Finance (Local Property Tax Repeal) Bill 2013 [Private Members]: Second Stage (11 Jun 2013)

Pearse Doherty: ...tax. Where is the fairness after five years of austerity in taxing the roof over people's heads, while at the same time many of the crooks and chancers who caused the crash are still walking free, many of them outside the reach of NAMA, some of whom still owe hundreds of millions of euro, much more than this tax will raise this year. Others are walking around or being driven around the...

Other Questions: NAMA Loans Sale (21 May 2013)

Pearse Doherty: We need a very big debate in regard to the direction NAMA is taking, given the fact it has now bunched these loans into projects such as Project Aspen and Project Club. I am glad Project Club has been cancelled because there are serious questions in regard to individuals around that. Given the decision to sell portions of projects instead of individual assets, it is very clear NAMA is now...
