That was blocked by the...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jul 2018)

Kevin Humphreys: ...a deal done to get the strategic development zone. Nothing seems to be happening in that respect and rumours are rife around the city that because of the cost of those units, it will not happen.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Current Housing Demand: Discussion (15 Apr 2014)

Kevin Humphreys: I would be delighted to speak to Mr. Brook about this at another time. It is one of the main issues that emerged from last week's discussions. Regarding NAMA's role in this, my view is that the houses are simply in the wrong places. That is why they cannot be sold and are in NAMA in the first place. The problem is that they are not located in places where people, in either the private or...
