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

Mick Wallace: There is potential for Home Building Finance Ireland, HBFI, to be a positive development. I do not, however, see any rationale for NAMA's involvement in HBFI other than in relation to how money might be provided off the books. On several occasions in this House I have heard Members speak about availing of the expertise available in NAMA on housing. It is well known that it does not have...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Technological Universities (6 Dec 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

Mick Wallace: I believe this land was with my good friends in NAMA. A price was agreed and a deposit was paid. A deal was done but somewhere along the route the loans got shifted to a vulture fund. NAMA literally sold the land to a vulture fund, despite a deal having been done with the Higher Education Authority, HEA. How can the Government allow this to happen? It is madness. Carlow IT has gone on...

Disclosures Tribunal: Motion [Private Members] (29 Nov 2017)

Mick Wallace: ...overall regulation of maintaining records so each Department has its own system. While the Charleton tribunal has the powers to compel the production of evidence, these powers are of little use where the evidence never existed. NAMA is a perfect example. It now has a policy of deleting the emails of staff one year after they have left the agency. This should be illegal but,...

Leaders' Questions (28 Nov 2017)

Mick Wallace: ...do not even know that. Given that this bank was on its back and dead and the people paid for its recovery, how does this represent the people when it is not what they would want? What is happening with the NAMA inquiry? Will the Department of Finance give the documents to this inquiry or will it behave in a similar manner to that of the Department of Justice and Equality? Is Mr....

Mick Wallace: ...in the country. The point I made is that these guys have gotten hold of an incredible number of properties that have been made available to rent in Dublin city. They bought them in bulk from NAMA and from the banks. They are buying an incredible proportion of what has become available in the last few years. They are having an incredible impact on the system. One of the most...

Mick Wallace: .... Dr. McIntyre said last week that for many years, there has almost been mass surveillance of the total public population of Ireland. This is very different because a State organisation, namely NAMA, has been allowed to shred its emails after a certain period has elapsed following the departure of a worker. What do the witnesses think of that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Mortgage Arrears Resolution (Family Home) Bill 2017: Discussion (25 Oct 2017)

Mick Wallace: ..., it is inconsistent and unsatisfactory. The Deputy has never said a truer word. It has been like a beauty contest. I know of many deals that were done and of many that were not done, whether it was by NAMA or the pillar banks. It is so inconsistent. Does the Deputy agree that the lack of proper regulation of the area allows them to behave as they see fit and run it as a beauty...

Mick Wallace: ...a minute. It sold 3,800 sites in Cherrywood for €27,000 each to Hines, a vulture fund, which is now selling them for more than €100,000 each. Explain how this makes sense to the Irish people, NAMA selling 3,800 sites in Cherrywood for €27,000 each and now Hines is selling them for more than €100,000 each. Explain the logic of that to me, please.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Wards of Court: Discussion (11 Oct 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

Mick Wallace: Given our experience with the Comptroller and Auditor General around his workings with the NAMA issues, we have found him to be very good. We can progress it from our end as much as we can as to why he has not being engaged because it looks to me as if it would be very helpful.

Tommy Broughan: ...told us the water charges refunds and any Christmas bonus would be met from the 2017 Estimates and that the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy's proposed and desperately needed affordable housing scheme would be funded under the 2018 budget. Like Deputy Wallace, I am still looking for that affordable housing scheme. We have been misled by two Ministers. Based on the Irish Fiscal Advisory...
