Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (16 Nov 2016) See 1 other result from this debate

Mr. Martin McGuinness: The reference to massive shortchanging obviously pertains to the remarks made by Deputy Mick Wallace. I am not making that allegation because I am not going to become embroiled with the Comptroller and Auditor General. There has been much controversy over NAMA in the course of recent months. It is a matter for the committee to deliberate on in the time ahead. ...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: NAMA Assets Sale (2 May 2017) See 1 other result from this answer

Mick Wallace: 271. To ask the Minister for Finance the sales process engaged in by NAMA in respect of Project Nantes; if the process was an open and competitive process; the number of bidders or potential bidders that were involved in different stages in the process; if a restricted number of parties were invited to make offers; the actual number of parties that were invited to make a bid; and if he...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: NAMA Assets Sale (22 Nov 2018)

Mick Wallace: ...drawn to the latest progress report by the Comptroller and Auditor General into the National Asset Management Agency; his views on the findings regarding section 172 declarations, particularly that NAMA case managers do not carry out verification processes regarding these; his further views on whether this may have had knock-on effects on loan and property sales; and if he will make a...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (6 Jul 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...Project Eagle. Is this going to be project Cluain Meala? It is a lovely name, meaning the vale of honey. There are serious questions to be answered here about persons who were on the board of NAMA and interfered with Revenue and everything else. I want this investigated at the highest level. We saw how former Deputy Mick Wallace had to continually raise the issue of Project Eagle....

Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018) See 1 other result from this debate

Mick Wallace: I am not making allegations. I am stating facts. I want the Taoiseach to dig deeper. Not only does NAMA have a tendency to play a bit footloose with criminal law, but it seems to care little for the data protection law. Two months ago, the Data Protection Commissioner found that NAMA was in breach of its obligations under data protection law regarding requests for data from the O'Flynn...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: County and City Management Association (26 Apr 2016)

Mick Wallace: ...the other was about the docklands. Foreign investment funds obviously have bought a lot of land there on which they are eager to put high-end offices, as is the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA. Do local authorities have the right or the wherewithal to insist on more residential units if they come seeking high-end offices?

Other Questions: National Monuments (13 Mar 2013)

Mick Wallace: ...'s remit is confined to Nos. 14-17 Moore Street. He stated that the remainder of the site is in the hands of An Bord Pleanála, Dublin City Council and the developer but the State, in the form of NAMA, has total control over the site. Nothing will happen without NAMA's permission. Is it possible that the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht could have influence with NAMA in...

Other Questions: NAMA Social Housing (5 Feb 2013)

Mick Wallace: I am fully aware that trying to move units from NAMA into social housing is not black and white all the time. Neither is it easy for NAMA to sell units all the time. There are complications about selling units under many of these projects. Many of these housing units or apartments would not necessarily suit social housing but many of them would. Does the Minister of State agree that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Priorities for Garda Inspectorate: Discussion (19 Oct 2016)

Mick Wallace: ...trafficking and serious fraud investigations. I am very aware from a number of meetings with members of the fraud team that they would find it very difficult at present to get information out of NAMA. We understand there is a data protection issue around the personal and commercially sensitive information that NAMA would have. Given that we are depending on section 19, where members...

Other Questions: Freedom of Information Remit (26 Sep 2017)

Mick Wallace: ...it is not? We put in many freedom of information requests. Sometimes we get satisfactory answers; sometimes, we do not. Recently - a while back - I put in a freedom of information request about NAMA’s freedom of information system to see how it works on a day-to-day basis. Pádraig Corkery, the freedom of information manager in NAMA, on a request I put in on Project Eagle...

Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2015) See 1 other result from this debate

Gerry Adams: I have previously raised widespread concerns about the operation of the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA. This deals with billions of euro in public assets being sold to vulture capitalists behind closed doors and without any democratic oversight. NAMA has been ordered by the Government to wind up faster than its 2020 remit, which also raises concerns about a fire sale of assets; we...

Other Questions: Housing Provision (7 Dec 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

Mick Wallace: Although finance for builders is a good idea, is it correct that approximately 8% is being proposed? Will NAMA have any involvement? As Members know, none of the houses in which NAMA has had an involvement will be sold at an affordable price. It is considering a minimum of approximately €350,000, which is not an affordable price for most people in Ireland who need a house and cannot...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Seán Fleming: ...Mr. Neil Murray, director of the Abbey Theatre providing clarification to evidence provided to the committee. We note and publish that. The next item of correspondence is No. 1593B from Deputy Mick Wallace dated 21 September requesting that the committee make inquiries with NAMA on Project Nantes. The secretariat has requested that NAMA follow up on this after last week's meeting and...

National Asset Management Agency: Motion [Private Members] (29 Jun 2016) See 5 other results from this debate

Tommy Broughan: I am grateful to have the opportunity to contribute briefly today on the motion tabled by my Independents 4 Change colleague, Deputy Mick Wallace, calling for a commission of investigation into the sale of NAMA's Northern Ireland portfolio, known as Project Eagle. Deputy Mick Wallace and his team have done sterling work in bringing the grave concerns about the sale of Project Eagle to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (21 Sep 2016)

Mick Wallace: In reply to that, members of NAMA who have retired are going to find it difficult to avoid serious scrutiny in the next couple of years. On the issue of the €1 million, it was used in the Chamber by the Minister saying that we are moving the whistleblower operation to GSOC and we will give it an extra €1 million. Obviously, the €1 million is for GSOC’s general...

Engagement with Investment Funds: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2018)

Mick Wallace: They have made a fortune at the expense of the Irish people. They bought loans from NAMA for peanuts, paid a bribe to get Project Eagle in the North and we are fine with that. God help us. What will the history books tell us? I hope they detail statements the Government made in this House in its efforts to defend what has taken place. I remember begging Fine Gael and the Labour Party...

Other Questions: Real Estate Investment Trusts (16 Jan 2014) See 2 other results from this debate

Mick Wallace: The Government might view real estate investment trusts, REITs, as a quick fix measure to get rid of properties on the books of the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and the banks, but questions must be asked about the increased corporatisation of property, with little financial gain for the State. REITs are not taxed on their rental income as long as they pay 85% of it to their...

Other Questions: Local Authority Housing Provision (10 Dec 2015)

Mick Wallace: NAMA has nominated Cerberus as the preferred bidder for Project Arrow. The deal has not yet gone through so I do not understand why the Government does not take some of the built units which are ready for use. I can live with the idea of the developer providing 10% of the units instead of 20% because it would be particularly difficult for small builders to finance it if they provide 20% and...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 109 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency
National Asset Management Agency - Financial Statements 2019 (8 Oct 2020)

Matt Carthy: I want to return to this notion that the director of Avestus was handling the sale on behalf of NAMA or was, at least, advising it and was also a director of Clairvue which was the ultimate purchaser. There are two subsections to my question. The reason we know or became aware of this was that a former Deputy, Mr. Mick Wallace, informed the House of that information. Was NAMA aware of that...
