Subsidies for Developers: Motion [Private Members] (18 May 2022)

Joan Collins: ...14,300, despite all of the other tenants who will come onto the housing list in the coming years. This plan is incredibly destructive. We have enough publicly-zoned land controlled by the State, Dublin City Council, the other councils and NAMA to build 100,000 homes. That is what we need to do to solve the crisis.

Written Answers — Department of Finance: National Asset Management Agency (2 Nov 2021)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Oct 2021)

Joan Collins: I thank the Taoiseach. What I know is that NAMA has €1.2 billion in funding reserves and 577 ha of residential development land, and that is a headline figure. That landholding and those cash reserves are capable of delivering up to 80,000 affordable and cost-rental homes. We know NAMA has been selling apartments for up to €500,000 and more. I put it to the Taoiseach and his...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Oct 2021)

Joan Collins: Yesterday, Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett raised with the Taoiseach some very serious questions in regard to the role of NAMA but his reply, as usual, did not deal with the issues raised. I will try to make the matter very simple. Will the Taoiseach's Government, through the Minister responsible, instruct NAMA to provide the following: a map and details of land it currently holds, the...

Ban on Rent Increases Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Jul 2021)

Joan Collins: ...there has been a 21% increase in the sector. One in five now rents in the private rental sector. The policy of enticing vulture funds and cuckoo funds into the sector with tax breaks and access to NAMA properties has also been a success for these people and institutions. In 2010, investors bought 10% of property; now it is 25%. High rents are a necessary factor in this policy, hence...

Affordable Housing Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Jun 2021)

Joan Collins: .... The mortgages were for 35 years with interest at 50% of the going rate to make them affordable. Will the Minister consider a similar scheme to meet today's needs. Between the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and local authorities there is sufficient publicly-owned land to build 100,000 housing units. We know that. This has not only been reported, but scientifically proven....

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (18 May 2021)

Joan Collins: ...out of someone else. The proposal to build 6,000 so-called affordable homes over the next four years will not con anybody; it is actually pathetic. Sufficient zoned land is available through local authorities and NAMA to make a significant dent in this crisis. It means, in the main, building public houses, the majority with affordable rent and security of tenure with some of the land...

Urban Regeneration and Housing (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Jul 2018)

Joan Collins: ...yet to declare any and that is also the case in Cork, Galway and Limerick. There are too many loopholes and the fee is too low. It is having no effect. For example, the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, sold land to developers with a potential for 50,000 units but only 3,000 have been built. There is enough zoned land nationally to build half a million homes but, at the current...

Leaders' Questions (24 May 2018)

Joan Collins: Some 55% in NAMA.

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (16 May 2018)

Joan Collins: ...crisis is unnecessary. He has put together information which indicates that 114,000 dwellings could be built on zoned land owned or controlled by the State. Within local authorities and NAMA there are over 3,000 ha of such land - 17% of all undeveloped zoned land in the State. Approximately 70,000 of these dwellings could be built in Dublin, thus eliminating the housing waiting lists of...

Public Private Partnership on Capital Infrastructure: Statements (26 Apr 2018)

Joan Collins: ...land yet is not being allocated to public housing. The State is the single biggest land hoarder in Ireland, according to many property analysts. In addition, it appears that land sold by the State agency NAMA to various vulture funds could have accommodated 50,000 homes, yet fewer than 4,000 are completed or under construction on lands formerly owned by NAMA. A large proportion of the...

Leaders' Questions (28 Feb 2018)

Joan Collins: ...of euros have been sold off to hedge funds, private equity giants and international banks. The biggest seller in this was the State through the medium of the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA. The liquidation of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC, facilitated the sell off of €22 billion in loans in a matter of months. This all started, appropriately enough, in Davos...

Child Homelessness: Statements (15 Dec 2017)

Joan Collins: ...and that it is terrible for people not to have homes. I do not trust these people - I will keep it clean - as far as I could throw them. They created the disaster we face, they made money back on their losses through NAMA and now they find themselves back on their feet. The reason Mr. Barrett is back on his feet is that he had more international investments than Irish investments. These...

Financial Resolutions 2018 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (11 Oct 2017)

Joan Collins: ...the proposals in the report. This is a conservative estimate of the additional funds required. The lack of urgency in addressing the housing and homelessness crisis is simply mind-boggling. The budget provides €750 million in credit for developers to be administered by the developers' friend, the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA. This is an insult to the 8,000 homeless...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)

Joan Collins: ...of local authorities and State companies, could use existing zoned land, borrow off the books and quickly commence a programme to build 10,000 public housing units per annum. The word "NAMA" should not be used in the same sentence as the phrase "public and social housing". The National Asset Management Agency was established to bail out banks and developers. Its role in Project Eagle...

An Bille um an gCúigiú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Ceart chun Tithíochta), 2017: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Right to Housing) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2017)

Joan Collins: ...been considering this proposal as I know because I have tabled several questions on it to the Minister. Instead, we now have talk of some half-baked scheme to use the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, in conjunction with private developers to somehow or other play a role in the provision of affordable housing. One of the definitions of stupidity is to keep doing the same thing and...

Leaders' Questions (16 May 2017)

Joan Collins: ...sale of the century. I would describe it as the sell-out of the century, on a par with the rip-off of our oil and gas resources, the bank bailout and the bonanza for vulture funds represented by NAMA. Is it not time to end this madness, stop, take stock and commit to a programme of public housing, starting with the construction of 50,000 units on these State lands?

Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 Jun 2016)

Joan Collins: ...debate, there are other ways to raise money to fill the fiscal space everybody talks about such as corporate taxation, the Apple issue and the potential bill of between €17 billion and €19 billion, NAMA and credit unions being able to provide funding of between €2 billion and €4 billion for housing and taking the pressure of cutting other services if water...

Housing Issues: Statements (14 Apr 2016)

Joan Collins: ...Cabinet Minister responsible for housing and planning and a housing authority or agency responsible to the Minister responsible for housing. The authority would incorporate some land and asset management of NAMA as that agency winds down. Other aspects of a solution include restoring Part V so that all new developments must have at least 20% social housing in the mix; providing for the...
