National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2015 (21 Jul 2016) Róisín Shortall: I wish to pursue that issue, if I may. Off-balance sheet is one aspect of it, but obviously being able to access European funds is an important aspect from the viewpoint of investment in public housing.

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2015 (21 Jul 2016) Róisín Shortall: It is very strange that that has been the case. Therefore, the perception is true that there are public European funds available for investment in housing and we are not drawing them down.

National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2015 (21 Jul 2016) Róisín Shortall: So I am right in thinking that. Okay, thanks. Mr. O'Kelly talks about an off-balance sheet vehicle for delivering public housing, not using European funds. One of the sites earmarked for that is in my own constituency in the Finglas area, but people just do not have a clue what it is about. How developed is that proposal? The small bit of experience that there is in public private...

Can one make a blanket statement like that? The M3 would be an example of where it did not work in the taxpayer's interest.

Families are put through the ringer. Given the level of legal fees that are paid out I know there are several legal companies around the country that would not survive if it was not for medical negligence claims.
