Vote 7 - Office of the Minister for Finance
NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013)

Áine Collins: If a debtor had rental income, is the VAT on that income paid over or is it part of the overall gross takings of NAMA, the National Asset Management Agency?

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013)

Áine Collins: Is it definitely paid over? How does NAMA ensure it is paid over?

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013)

Áine Collins: I am glad to hear that. One issue raised with me by people working in or who have ended up in NAMA relates to the economic value of commercial property. As Mr. McDonagh said earlier, values in this sector in Dublin have gone up 25% in the past year. Are we selling assets too early? Then there is the issue of the overall economic recovery, one of the reasons NAMA was established in the...

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013)

Áine Collins: I have people in my constituency who have complaints about NAMA, some are working through processes with the agency, but they feel they have nowhere to voice their concerns or will be treated fairly if they make a complaint. That is not a healthy environment. Now that we are five years on with NAMA, should we make a separate complaints procedure available?

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013)

Áine Collins: I appreciate that. However, and with the greatest respect, because of the nature of NAMA, the last person to whom someone with a complaint might want to go to is Mr. McDonagh or the chairman. There should be a procedure in place for those with grievances, separate from the agency. NAMA, when it was first established, had much power which might have been necessary. However, as it has...

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013)

Áine Collins: While I accept that the nature of the agency’s work can lead to people feeling they have a grievance, those who have contacted me with a complaint about the agency will not give me further information about it because they feel they will be treated unfairly by the agency. Whether it is founded or not, it is out there. I have nothing personally against Mr. McDonagh, Mr. Daly or any...

NAMA - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (20 Dec 2013)

Áine Collins: Some of the cases I have do not necessarily involve debtors. Some are people working out processes with NAMA who are not happy with the speed or way things happen with the agency. When they compare it to processes with ACC or Ulster Bank, they see far more straightforward processes.

Betting (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 Jan 2014)

Áine Collins: I, too, welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Bill. In recent years the Irish people have borne more than their fair share of cost increases. No government wishes to impose tax burdens on its citizens but the vast majority of the population of this country recognise that what was done had to be done. Even thought it has been difficult, we are beginning to see a...
