Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: They did not need the money, NAMA was going to give it. I welcome the witnesses. Today we are complimenting them for a change; usually we are condemning and scrutinising them over projects-----

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: This is on a good news story and all I can say is fair play to the people who thought up NAMA in the very beginning. They have proved their worth and NAMA has come through a lot. I hope the profit of €3.5 billion will be realised for the Exchequer over the eight years, which is no mean feat. One of the originators of the idea for NAMA was the late Brian Lenihan, Lord have mercy on...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: Under the public body heading I see that 34 assets were sold or partly sold to State bodies. What is the procedure with State bodies? Does NAMA approach them or do they approach NAMA? Does NAMA advertise for interest and how do State bodies get involved?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: When NAMA was asked by the Government to get involved in housing and to provide land, where did NAMA envisage its role in the provision of social, affordable and private housing? Had NAMA earmarked land for social, affordable and private housing where a profit might be made? Did NAMA conduct an analysis on how much land should be for social, affordable housing and private housing or did...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: I am talking about instances where there is no limit. Did NAMA tell people to set aside 15% of the land to affordable houses and then cater for bigger houses? Did NAMA consider doing so?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: Politically, we should go down that road because that is the only way we will solve this major problem but I realise that is not NAMA's problem. NAMA will be wound up in 2020. Would NAMA, if it were to get another role, continue on? We have a housing crisis. Do the witnesses see themselves playing a further role, if the Government has the will to do so, to continue for another five to...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: I have a general question on the land portfolio and housing. What percentage of the land portfolio has been used over the past two years since NAMA got involved? How much of the land portfolio did NAMA envisage it would sell for housing at the very beginning? Earlier, one of my colleagues here mentioned local authorities did not take up land in places where they should have done so. How...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: If NAMA reaches its target of 20,000 units will it have land available for more units, perhaps 20,000 more ?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: That leads to my next question. In 2020, if NAMA is wound up and it has still this portfolio of land, property or whatever, where will this property and land portfolio go then? Who will take over then?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: Lastly, I will ask NAMA about the Twenty-six Counties. I note where NAMA has no land in 12 counties. In my constituency, it has land in Kilkenny but in not in Carlow. Why so? Has NAMA no property or land in any of those 12 counties or are they merely being excluded?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: In how many of those 12 counties has NAMA no property or how many are not interested? Can Mr. McDonagh explain that? I will ask only of Carlow. Mr. McDonagh should stick to Carlow.

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Bobby Aylward: ...It is a review anyway. It must be the Comptroller and Auditor General's one, I would say. That is what I am looking at. Anyway, I do not want to get mixed up with it. In Kilkenny, I see where NAMA delivered 52 units, Mr. McDonagh is saying now, and 72-----
