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)

Erin McGreehan: Mr. McDonagh mentioned legal cases. Of the 16 legal cases he mentioned, how many involve disputes with developers regarding asset valuations, conflicts of interest or even allegations of mismanagement of NAMA? Is there potential for a summary of each case, even in a redacted form, to ensure for taxpayers and Members of the Oireachtas that the public interest would be protected in those...

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...

Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Business of Joint Committee (21 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: I thank everyone for their good wishes. We are off to a good start, particularly as there has not been any dissent so far. Let us hope that continues. The first item on the agenda is nominations for Leas-Chathaoirleach. As members are aware, a committee may choose to elect a Leas-Chathaoirleach who can perform the duties and exercise the authority of the Cathaoirleach in my absence. I...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Procedures (20 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: I thank the Minister of State, and I understand she is reading out an answer from the Department and it is not her line responsibility. I am getting a huge of sense of frustration here. My question was on the financial support. The Minister of State said that certain treatments are available in Ireland and therefore, it is a "No". I am sorry; this is not a normal situation, where the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Procedures (20 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: I am speaking on behalf of the families whose lives have been turned upside down by the hip dysplasia scandal, particularly those who have sat in my constituency office in Dundalk over the past couple of weeks upset about the care for their little children. How is the Department planning to support those families to get treatment and follow-up care for children who have had surgery for hip...

Assessment of Need: Statements (20 May 2025)

Erin McGreehan: I am very grateful for the opportunity to speak on this issue. I wish the Minister very well in her role. Having listened to everyone who contributed, I believe there is not one Member across these Houses who is not inundated with queries and concerns over children’s therapies, waiting lists and assessment of need. So many of us are supporting parents and families to get services...
