That is private housing.

Leaders' Questions (16 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: The Deputy is well aware that NAMA operates under a very specific remit. It was dealing with the largest property portfolio in the western hemisphere. The Deputy made certain comments here. I point out to him that NAMA also operates under the aegis of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General, some of whose personnel serve on the board of NAMA. NAMA appears regularly before the...

Leaders' Questions (28 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: Tá a fhios agam go maith céard atá an Teachta a rá. Tá sé fíor gur labhair mé amach faoi struchtúr NAMA le fada. Tá a fhios mhaith aige freisin go bhfuair an t-Aire Airgeadais eolas agus comhairle faoi leith ó dhuine a bhfuil eolas aige faoi na nithe seo, agus gur mian leis athraithe ar struchtúir NAMA, mar atá sé faoi láthair, a thabhairt os comhair an Rialtais.

Leaders' Questions (17 Dec 2013)

Enda Kenny: The Government is taking this matter very seriously and the point raised is one of concern and substance. I note the statement yesterday from NAMA. It states:The Senator's comments in the Seanad this afternoon suggest that he has evidence of impropriety involving staff members of NAMA. He has not shared any such evidence with NAMA. Nor has NAMA received such evidence from any other party....

Leaders' Questions (19 Jul 2016)

Enda Kenny: ...before with Deputy Adams and a number of other Deputies. On the question of value for money, we fully support the ongoing examination by the Comptroller and Auditor General into the disposal by NAMA of the loans of Northern Ireland debtors.

Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...context, I put the following question to the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach will be only too well aware that the Irish taxpayer has had to write the biggest ever cheque of €54 billion in respect of NAMA. The proposition put by Government before, during and since NAMA has been that in return for our taking the huge risk of relieving the banks of their reckless loans and property deals credit...

Order of Business (28 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: -----mortgage holders, what the Minister and Government can do for mortgage holders if the NAMA banks follow suit with an increase. While Permanent TSB did not get one cent from the State the banks beholding to NAMA have received hundreds of millions and billions of euro. What will the Government do if NAMA follows suit and up to 350,000 people are faced with the devastating prospect of an...

Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2015)

Enda Kenny: -----before which it recently appeared to discuss these important issues.

Last month, the committee submitted a list...

They were also provided to the Committee of Public Accounts, to which NAMA is responsible in this jurisdiction. I...

Leaders' Questions (31 May 2016)

Enda Kenny: The Deputy informs me that two people have been arrested. I assume they have been arrested for good reason. Representatives of NAMA have appeared before the Committee of Public Accounts and have given very lengthy statements. They have been crystal clear and that from their perspective, there is no allegation of wrongdoing against NAMA. NAMA has done nothing wrong. It has been completely...

Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Enda Kenny: -----that NAMA would not run an exclusive process but would have to run a competitive and transparent sales process. NAMA subsequently received a third-party approach from a potential buyer to sell the loan portfolio on an exclusive basis. NAMA did not agree with this and instead decided to appoint a lone sale broker, who openly marketed the portfolio of Northern Ireland debtor loans....

Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Enda Kenny: The alleged division of funds is internal and it has no relevance to NAMA's open competitive sales process. I repeat that NAMA is responsible to the Oireachtas through the Committee of Public Accounts, which is chaired by Deputy McGuinness. The Deputy had the principals from NAMA in before his committee last week. Both the Committee of Public Accounts and the Comptroller and Auditor...

Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2015)

Enda Kenny: ...way. I am advised that the loan sale was executed in a proper manner. Despite all the confusion and the coverage in the media, the fact is that there are no claims of wrongdoing against NAMA.

Questions have been answered at some considerable length here in the House by the Minister for Finance on this matter. Whatever papers or correspondence is necessary or...

Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Enda Kenny: I wish to clarify what I said about the personnel from the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General. I think I said they served on the board of NAMA, but that is not true. They are part of the NAMA company from the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General but not board members. The Deputy asked about what she called the "kickback". When the compliance section of Pimco brought...

Leaders' Questions (17 Dec 2013)

Enda Kenny: ...takes the matter very seriously. Two cases arise; one formal investigation by the Garda is nearing completion and I expect it will come to a conclusion. The second arises from a recent contact. NAMA has not been formally contacted by the Garda arising from those allegations. Deputy Donnelly made a point about people perhaps not following through on an initial interest in a property or...
