Department Underspend and Reduced Delivery of Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (18 Apr 2023)

Catherine Connolly: ...the market will provide” and when it does not provide we will bring in any amount of piecemeal initiatives to make sure that we keep the prices high, including the setting up of the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and the disgraceful way that it dealt with property and not homes. Here is the Simon Community again, locked out of the market, telling us there are...

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

Catherine Connolly: ...any sensible, intelligent Government — maybe these do not go together; I do not know — would say the policies are not working and will have to be reconsidered. That is not happening. A point was made on NAMA. NAMA has been a huge part of the problem considering the remit it was given. It was praised for carrying out that remit, which has artificially, along with HAP and...

Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (1 Jul 2021)

Catherine Connolly: ..., stamp duty on just ten houses or more with as many loopholes as possible to make the measures non-effective and useless and leasing schemes with no security of tenure, only security of finance for the developer or landowner but certainly not for the tenant. I thought I was beyond shock and that I had lost that innocence that is somewhere in me that we can change things but yesterday, I...

Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (23 Jun 2021)

Catherine Connolly: ...is a result of Government policy that encouraged them to come in. It stated that in a letter to the Government dated March 2019, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing noted that 93% of all assets sold by the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, went to foreign investors, and that by 2016, one third of all the properties sold were purchased by investors. There is a...

Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 21 - Accounts of the National Treasury Management Agency
National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019)

Catherine Connolly: So that is two floors and does not include NAMA. What else does it not include that comes under the NTMA's remit?

Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 21 - Accounts of the National Treasury Management Agency
National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019)

Catherine Connolly: That is going from €2 million plus NAMA.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Jun 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I thank Mr. McCarthy for the clarification and going through the matter. It is far more than a perception. I accept that this is not the fault of NAMA which was set up for a purpose by the legislation. One of the consequences is that the market has been officially kept too high in relation to property and rent. It was set up and legislation was introduced, and through the work of the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Jun 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I beg your pardon. We are told that NAMA is proceeding to take steps to seek confirmation. Has that been done or are the steps being taken now?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)

Catherine Connolly: ...of tenure is in place in those almost 30,000 units. Are they offering life tenure or five-year leases? My question applies particularly to the last few years when accommodation was acquired from NAMA and so on. It is an important question.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)

Catherine Connolly: It will apply to whatever houses they got in a particular way under NAMA or something, if they only got them for a short time. We do not know. We need to tease it out.

Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (21 Feb 2019)

Catherine Connolly: That is great. Again, I see that some housing associations acquire assets through the NAMA or in some other way. Tenure seems to have been reduced. It is for five or ten years, but there is no guarantee of life tenure. What percentage is that?

Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (21 Feb 2019)

Catherine Connolly: The NAMA scheme is just one. There are other ways of acquiring assets.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I agree with the Chairman totally. There should be a debate on it, especially on the utilisation of any surplus from the orderly wind-down of NAMA or the possible consideration of-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: We are not recommending that. It is an open discussion on that. The thought that NAMA would be used for other purposes came from other sources. I think it came from the Government. We are not endorsing that but simply saying to discuss it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I would be happy to wait for the Comptroller and Auditor General to come back after he gets further information to see what his viewpoint is at that stage. The committee can certainly have a role. NAMA was set up arising from a failure of governance and of regulation. When representatives of NAMA have come before us, we have expressed the most serious concerns about the lack of governance...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 Nov 2018)

Catherine Connolly: We are talking about wiggle room and the effort to pursue the €173 million and then we were told it was not a NAMA debtor and so on. We have to go back and look at that but how long will that take to check that, make sense out of it and talk to the people who have raised concerns about it? It is one item of correspondence. What the Chair has put on the record is important but it is...
