Other Questions: Tax Code (10 Nov 2016)

Mick Wallace: ...under assessment by the services of the Directorate General for Competition. Perhaps the Minister for Finance will clarify if I am right in thinking that the builders and developers' challenge to NAMA being allowed to build 20,000 houses is because it might amount to State aid, or has that gone off the radar?

Catherine Murphy: Earlier, I asked the Comptroller and Auditor General a question regarding the role of his office in the day-to-day workings of NAMA because the impression was created during some earlier hearings, and explicitly again this morning, that the Comptroller and Auditor General had a large team in NAMA examining its every transaction. It is this "impression" I would like to focus on. In response...

Topical Issue Debate: Homeless Persons Data (3 Nov 2016)

Mick Wallace: ...to dealing with the problem, but we have not bought anything like enough housing units. I accept it is vacant units that are sought but if one takes the big blocks of houses or apartments that NAMA has been selling, if the State said it wanted 20% of those, it would be found that there have been up to 10% and 20% of empty units in some of the big blocks sold by NAMA.

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.

Mick Wallace: ...crazy money off the European states because of the rules and regulations it has introduced.
