Social Housing: Motion [Private Members] (26 Jan 2016)

Robert Troy: ...The Government has an opportunity, with this motion, to change the path on which it is travelling. A total of 20,000 houses are due to become available from the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA. The Government should accept this motion and have a 50:50 split, at a minimum, ensuring that 10,000 of those houses go to social housing. We can therefore try to address the social housing...

Bankruptcy (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (15 Dec 2015)

Robert Troy: ...today, I heard that 1,000 children would spend Christmas in a hotel because of the failure of the Government which has prevented the construction of affordable houses in cities in order to drive up NAMA's revenues.

Robert Troy: ...are facing high mortgage arrears, negative equity and paying excessive interest on their variable rate mortgages.

Housing Affordability: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 Jan 2015)

Robert Troy: ...went from €13.5 million to €1.5 million. It is no wonder there are more than 2,900 people on the housing list now in Westmeath County Council.

The Government should look at using the National Pensions Reserve Fund to give a meaningful social...

Social Welfare Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Nov 2014)

Robert Troy: ...to avail of the scheme are being put through unbelievable bureaucracy and ultimately turned down. I would welcome the figures for the uptake of the scheme. I refer to the social dividend from NAMA housing. It was constructed in such a way that housing would become available to support the less well-off in society, but it is not happening. The former Minister, Mr. Phil Hogan, who was...

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Finance: National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (1 Jul 2014)

Robert Troy: ...provision will be made. That is why we are asking that it be written clearly into the legislation that some of these moneys should be invested for that purpose. The Minister of State referred to NAMA, but the reality is that the number of properties transferring from that agency to local authorities has been minuscule. He also referred to the capital programme, but it has been...

Social Housing and Homelessness Policy: Statements (Resumed) (3 Apr 2014)

Robert Troy: ...funding provided to local authorities and the amount provided to the voluntary sector. I will resubmit my question, as the answer was inconclusive.

Freedom of Information (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2012: Second Stage (6 Jul 2012)

Robert Troy: ...the National Asset Management Agency. Many questions about deals involving the agency will never be answered. I was advised in a telephone call this morning that an apartment complex owned by NAMA in my constituency is to be demolished at a cost of €150,000. While I do not have the full details, I am informed it would not cost much more than €150,000 to make the building habitable....

NAMA Portfolio (11 May 2011)

Robert Troy: Some community groups will have a particular interest in a NAMA building. Has the Minister put in place a process for how these can make an application to take ownership of such a building? If so, will the Minister advise the House of this process? Is there potential to get an economic return for NAMA with buildings in the case of aspiring artists who are finding it difficult to get venues...

NAMA Portfolio (11 May 2011)

Robert Troy: I welcome the work the Minister has done in this regard by contacting NAMA. It is a very worthwhile venture. The Minister touched on this issue in his previous answer when he spoke of providing facilities for young people and trying to involve the younger generation in the arts and in the creation of art and culture. I welcome that he has made progress on this. When he has more...
