Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2019)

Tommy Broughan: ...well-founded fears of Fingal County Council. One of my constituents has reminded me of the approximately 100 acres - I am not sure what that would be in hectares - of commercial land bought from NAMA located in the Dublin enterprise zone, which is right at the famous roundabout, the M1-M2 link at the Ward. This is one of many commercial conflicts of interest. I tabled an amendment,...

Central Bank (National Claims Information Database) Bill 2018: Second Stage (20 Sep 2018)

Tommy Broughan: ...the ten wasted years since 2008 has been the lack of a serious effort, despite the Europe Union. We did so many things that our EU colleagues wanted us to do - crucified mortgage holders, set up NAMA and so on - but we never touched the legal profession. Neither the Bill of the Minister, Deputy Shane Ross, nor any other Bill will give us a legal system that reflects the reality of...

Tommy Broughan: ...during the Celtic tiger boom, under the regulations brought in by the Fianna Fáil Government, are back in business and building again, having been helped by the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and ourselves.

Tommy Broughan: ...Gael-Labour Party Government, under the leadership of Deputies Enda Kenny and Eamon Gilmore, which greatly accelerated the sale of Irish property assets to vultures after the Davos World Economic Forum in 2014.

Questions on Promised Legislation (21 Feb 2018)

Tommy Broughan: ...the Celtic Tiger era are defective and may be fire traps, yet developers who allegedly built some of those homes are now building once again and announcing new estates, etc., with the help of NAMA in spite of the particular importance of this issue since the Grenfell Tower fire. I have been in contact with the Minister in that regard. Will it be possible to identify such rogue...

Leaders' Questions (13 Feb 2018)

Tommy Broughan: ...development and construction company, even initially in the Dublin and other urban regions? I know the Taoiseach was discussing an amendment of the National Asset Management Agency legislation to permit NAMA to have this function. That seems impossible but we need a national effort because these figures are disgraceful.

Tommy Broughan: ...with an additional capital investment of at least €1 billion a year. I also asked that local authorities and social housing bodies again have a primary role in directly building homes. This NAMA proposal was made off the cuff by the Taoiseach at the Government's recent think-in. There are different proposals from NERI and others. Many people think that some kind of housing...

Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (1 Dec 2016)

Tommy Broughan: ...local authority areas I represent - Dublin city and Fingal - in the past two or three years, but we are still waiting for the homes. Bankrupt developers are working their way back with the help of NAMA. The Government is now calling on developers who left us with messes like Priory Hall and Longboat Quay, with pyrite-ridden homes and with fire traps to come to the rescue in addressing...

Tommy Broughan: ...to have the opportunity to contribute briefly today on the motion tabled by my Independents 4 Change colleague, Deputy Mick Wallace, calling for a commission of investigation into the sale of NAMA's Northern Ireland portfolio, known as Project Eagle.

Housing and Homelessness: Statements (22 Mar 2016)

Tommy Broughan: ...all the way through. The Minister had the opportunity, as the Taoiseach had, to have taken similar steps in housing, but the Minister has refused to do so. The Minister could have taken over all empty NAMA properties and all hoarded building land, and made those properties available while starting an immediate large building programme. We heard earlier today some criticism of large...

Financial Resolutions 2016 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (14 Oct 2015)

Tommy Broughan: ...to households and individuals. The biggest disappointment of budget 2016 is, as my colleague Deputy Róisín Shortall said, the Government's failure, particularly the Labour Party, to declare a housing emergency. The plan for NAMA to deliver 20,000 housing units by the end of 2020, with 90% to be delivered in Dublin, is simply a re-run of the old failed developer-led system....

Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Jun 2015)

Tommy Broughan: ...must become the key developers of social housing rather these mollycoddled developers who failed us desperately all the way through the 1990s and the noughties and then walked away. We employed them through NAMA and looked after them and now here we are trying to set them up again for the 2020s. This was the Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael agenda down through the decades. Let us face it....

Tommy Broughan: ...Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, and the former Minister, Deputy Eamon Gilmore, of the nagging and profound public concerns about the scale of write-downs in IBRC, NAMA and other State financial institutions.

Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Housing Provision (17 Jul 2014)

Tommy Broughan: ...due to be delivered. This is nowhere near enough to cope with the 100,000 families requiring social housing in areas such as east Galway, south Dublin, north Dublin and Tipperary. It is a dismal response from NAMA. What will the Minister do to get NAMA to deliver on socioeconomic objectives which are clearly laid out in the NAMA legislation? Will the Minister examine the models in...

Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Housing Provision (17 Jul 2014)

Tommy Broughan: ...of Government priorities included a section devoted to the aim of improving housing availability and affordability. I note the review by the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan of a section 227 review of NAMA. Unfortunately, NAMA has provided a minuscule number of houses for the local authorities of this country since it was established. What immediate action will the Minister take to...
