Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (1 Feb 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: ...Fáil on many occasions, in the provision of tax advantages to REITs. The REITs swooped in. They bought land, apartments and houses, mostly cheaply from the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and they have extracted significant returns in that time, often while hiking up rents. Will the Government repeal the advantages REITS have in their business model around housing?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Investigation (30 May 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: ...a decade and by then the Taoiseach or the relevant Minister has long since gone. The Moriarty tribunal started in 1997 and took 14 years to publish its final report, costing €65 million. The NAMA commission has already cost nearly €4 million and the Siteserv commission the Taoiseach just mentioned was to produce its final report in 2015, was meant to cost €4...

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Commission of Investigation Report: Statements (14 Sep 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: ...answer. So far, I have heard no meaningful expression in the Government about the next steps in terms of accountability. The Taoiseach, interestingly, is also responsible for another investigation that went on for a long time, which is the €1.4 billion sale of NAMA's Project Eagle portfolio to Cerberus in 2014. The original finishing date for that was meant to be 2018. It got...

Raise the Roof: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: ...so that they are in good shape for families to use. Despite the urgency of all of that, house taxes are still referred to in the future tense by this Government. We in Aontú urged the Government to use NAMA land to build thousands of social homes, but the Taoiseach refused to do it. He made the argument to me in the Chamber that building social homes would go against...

Peadar Tóibín: 216. To ask the Minister for Finance if he records the details of private firms that former employees of NAMA are working in; the number of NAMA staff who are currently working in private property-related firms; and if he will provide details of the level within NAMA that these staff were working. [17177/22]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Investigation (23 Nov 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: .... A previous Taoiseach admitted that the final cost for the IBRC commission could exceed €30 million. This means that €30 million is taken away from some sector in society that really needs it. The NAMA commission of investigation was meant to be completed in June 2018 at a cost of €10 million but the costs are spiralling on these commissions of investigation. I...

Finance Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Nov 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: ...a 2% rent cap. There is no excuse for any rent increases at all at present. It is absolutely incredible that the Government would still allow rents to be increased. The Taoiseach was asked a couple of weeks ago if he would repurpose NAMA to ensure we could provide far more social and affordable houses. He did a great dodge. He basically said that NAMA's job is to protect the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Central Bank (Individual Accountability Framework) Bill 2021: Central Bank (3 Nov 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: ...system and those commissions of investigation are anything but satisfactory. They have been going on for years and are costing massive amounts of money. I am thinking of the commissions of investigation relating to NAMA and the IBRC. Would it not be better for the State to have a department or an office of investigations that could actually build the critical skill sets needed to be...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Corporate Governance (2 Nov 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: On a slightly left-field note, this country is also dealing with a big problem relating to commissions of investigation. For example, the NAMA investigation established in June 2017 was meant to be completed in 2018 but now has an extension until December 2021 at least. It has spent approximately €2.5 million but that figure is likely to reach approximately €10 million. There...

Rental Sector: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: ...waiting lists or they are trying to buy a home when prices are going nuts. There are people still in mortgage distress from the last housing crisis who are going around the courts at the moment. Yet NAMA has 577 ha of land and could be directed to provide for 4,000 cost rental houses and 4,000 affordable houses a year. The Taoiseach sat roughly where the Minister of State is today and...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: National Asset Management Agency (6 Jul 2021)

To ask the Minister for Finance the number of former employees of NAMA who have left and become employees of property development companies; the person or body in relation to same; the companies they have or work for; if his Department or NAMA record such details; and the timeframe required between when a person is an employee of NAMA and when they then take up employment either directly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Council Strategy 2018-2022: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: ...exploit heritage for the community and put it on show for people coming to look at it. We have been quite successful in recent times. We managed to get the local authority to buy an old mill that NAMA was holding from us - Kilmainham Mill. The question now is what to do with it. A plan has been there over the years. It is great when we have a success like that because we have lost so...

Engagement with Investment Funds: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: ...is not a silver bullet. Far from it. To stop the vultures we have to stop feeding them. The Minister is in a position to stop feeding them through his influence over the banks and the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA. It is important to draw a line and say that no more of this will happen in the future. Again, I ask the Minister to do that; to actually use his influence for the...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (13 Jun 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: .... I discovered that they are presiding over thousands of acres of vacant land and buildings totalling 155,000 sq. ft owned by the Government were standing idle. These are not lands owned by NAMA or other development agencies. These are just Departments sitting on land and doing nothing about it. An example of that is the folly of Thornton Hall, a 150-acre site right beside the M50...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: National Monuments (1 Jun 2016)

Peadar Tóibín: ...one of the central spaces in the 1916 Rising. My other concern in this regard is that the loans of Chartered Land, the company which is proposing to build a shopping centre in this space, lie with NAMA. If NAMA was to appeal the decision, the State, in effect, would be funding a second appeal against a decision of the High Court which fulfills the will of the people and the Dáil.

Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Statements (28 Jan 2016)

Peadar Tóibín: ...commercial property price register should be introduced." Obviously, I welcome this, but how would such a register deal with the issue of Irish banks funding Irish developers for projects abroad? Approximately 40% of the value of the loans transferred to NAMA related to properties outside of the Twenty-six Counties. How would the register deal with any of that? Furthermore, a price...
