Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2021)

Eamon Ryan: I was made aware by both the city council and NAMA of the history, as the Deputy outlined, of the development of the affordable element of housing on that site. To my mind, it was not the correct decision. I would have made a different one but the decision is made. The critical issue now is that we deliver the affordable housing and the social housing which will be delivered under Part V....

Commission of Investigation (National Asset Management Agency) Order 2017: Motion (23 May 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...to support it. The Committee of Public Accounts has published a report that compels us to look further into the differences it outlined between the Comptroller and Auditor General's office, NAMA and the Minister. Like Deputy Catherine Murphy, I have concerns about the mechanism of using commissions. We have seen the legal knots that we can get ourselves tied up in with such a...

Report of the Committee of Public Accounts re National Asset Management Agency’s sale of Project Eagle: Motion (29 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...of the political system and the property development sector tells me that one would track a very high discount rate because how could one trust who is behind a deal or what the actual deal is? NAMA's role in that is the key question for us. A key question in that regard concerns Mr. Hanna - I am conscious of being careful about naming names - who was under investigation by the Public...

Report of the Committee of Public Accounts re National Asset Management Agency’s sale of Project Eagle: Motion (29 Mar 2017)

Eamon Ryan: Well it would in my case, Deputy McDonald. It would help tremendously because we would have the facts in an open and transparent way. I still put the case for that amendment to the NAMA legislation as one of the ways of uncovering what exactly we got on all the different deals.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Fiscal Outlook, Competitiveness and Labour Market Developments: Discussion (22 Feb 2017)

Eamon Ryan: Section 12(8) of the NAMA legislation allows for that.

Establishment of a Commission of Inquiry into the National Asset Management Agency: Statements (1 Feb 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...Murphy is right that we need transparency in all things we do. One of the Green Party's proposals two years ago to the Minister for Finance, to whom I wrote directly, was that on the wind down of NAMA, there should be full transparency of all the arrangements, including prices paid, par values and every detail of every transaction for those lenders from NAMA who were not able to work out...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: NAMA Assets Sale (29 Nov 2016)

Eamon Ryan: 60. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the progress that has been made in regard to the purchase of 5,000 acres from NAMA in the Glenasmole valley; if an agreement has been reached; and the terms of the purchase. [37398/16]

Financial Resolutions 2017 - Budget Statement 2017 (11 Oct 2016)

Eamon Ryan: ...building industry, I do not think we should be going down on the knee to it. When it claims it is too expensive to build here, we offer tax breaks and land without site value tax. All the advantages are for the building industry. NAMA has the expertise and the land banks. It should bring the expertise, which it has gained in London and other cities in which it has been involved in...

Written Answers — Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: National Parks Projects (21 Jul 2016)

Topical Issue Debate: NAMA Property Sales (20 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: ...be added to the Wicklow National Park, which it would grow by some 10%, providing an amazing facility for the people of this city and the whole country. What contact has the Department had with NAMA on the subject of this land? The land came into the ownership of the State through a developer who was involved in the Dundrum town shopping centre and was not able to hold onto it. NAMA...

Topical Issue Debate: NAMA Property Sales (20 Jul 2016)

Eamon Ryan: I am surprised we have allowed this to get to this stage. If officials and NAMA have been involved in talks and been haggling over price, which I presume is what the Minister of State said, how have we let it be publicly put up for sale? Media reports suggest it has an asking price of some €2.5 million but the problem is that, when it is opened up to other bidders, it will be...

Single Resolution Board (Loan Facility Agreement) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2016)

Eamon Ryan: ...the period in question was that there was remarkable co-operation with the officials in the National Treasury Management Agency, whom I trusted. I should mention, given that we were debating NAMA earlier, that I include Frank Daly and Brendan McDonagh in that. My experience was that they were straight people who could be trusted and that the information they provided turned out to be...

National Asset Management Agency: Motion [Private Members] (29 Jun 2016)

Eamon Ryan: ...worked out from the recent processes how we should manage these commissions? I would like to move on to those instances where we do have jurisdiction and where there are issues to be examined about NAMA's actions in the South. This is separate from the immediate issues relating to the financial transactions that took place in the North and the various actors involved there....

Housing and Homelessness: Statements (22 Mar 2016)

Eamon Ryan: ...we should start by putting housing in the right place. We should build clean housing so that we save people money over the lifetime of the building. That is not impossible to do. We need to take NAMA and put it into a national housing authority. A site value taxation system that makes sense had been set up for this Government when it took office five years ago. It was ready to go. It...

National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)

Eamon Ryan: ...so, but the public has a certain sense that Professor Honohan has expertise. I have noted others in our system, including the Secretary General of the Department of Finance and the key people in NAMA, who are very capable and very good public servants. All parties, not just Government parties, can work with them to ensure we understand the issues and achieve a good resolution for the...

Announcement by Minister for Finance on Banking of 30 September 2010: Statements (30 Sep 2010)

Eamon Ryan: Crucially, such an approach would not have provided what following a NAMA approach has done, namely, a clear, independent, thorough, rigorous and in many ways ruthless assessment of the extent of the problem and the scale of the losses. That will be important when emerging from this situation, because as horrible and difficult as are these losses, I prefer to know what they are rather than...

Announcement by Minister for Finance on Banking of 30 September 2010: Statements (30 Sep 2010)

Eamon Ryan: It also has taken time for the officials in NAMA to carry out their fundamental first task, which was to ascertain the scale of the losses. Real lessons were learned that banks do not necessarily present information in the timely and honest fashion that was need and that it was right for the Government to take the firm action of sending in independent analysts rather than trusting the banks....

Economic Issues: Motion (Resumed) (7 Jul 2010)

Eamon Ryan: ...what it is against and explain what it would actually do. Does it really want to default? Is that what it will do when it goes into government? Do its members really believe we should not have NAMA? How would they change it? They need to be specific because neither main Opposition party has been in any way honest over recent years about the difficulties facing us. We have managed...
