National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: .... I asked that Members who have shares in the banks declare their interests when speaking in the Dáil.

Their excuse is that they publish their interests in the register of interests every year. That...

Order of Business (21 Oct 2009)

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report Stage (4 Nov 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ba mhaith liom foláireamh a thabhairt don Aire. Má tá cás tógtha i gcoinne an reachtaíocht seo gan leagan Gaeilge ar fáil, d'fhéadfadh an ghníomhaireacht NAMA ar fad titim go huile is go hiomlán. Is é sin an fáth gur chóir go mbeadh an Bille dhátheangach ó thús.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...believe the functions set out are reasonable given the enormous amount of money about which we are speaking, namely, the €54 billion of taxpayers' money that is being committed to GNuBS, which is NAMA as gaelige, although I believe NAMA rolls easier of the tongue than GNuBS.

Departmental Expenditure (13 Oct 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...scheme to RAS is like moving the deck chairs on the Titanic? Has any consideration being given to front-loading rent supplement to local authorities, along with asking the Minister for Finance or NAMA to transfer properties?

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ..., it will probably have to be increased as tenants whose landlords will not reduce their rent are obliged to depend on services for homeless persons. I note what the Tánaiste said about the use of NAMA properties for social housing purposes. Is it the intention to lease such properties only or will the Government take the economically savvy decision to acquire the properties outright or...

Rent Supplement Scheme (17 Jul 2012)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...rent supplement. I have never supported the notion of the State subsidising private landlords. I have always argued that it should provide social housing.

Sa chás seo, tá gach éinne ag caint faoi "NAMA" seachas an "Gníomhaireacht Náisiúnta um Bainistíocht Sócmhainní". Le tamall de bhlianta anuas, tá an Stáit ag bogadh i dtreo Béarla de shíor.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...school to another. I hope the Minister will accept the point I am making.

Committee and Remaining Stage (17 Dec 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ..., is in Irish in the first place. In the past 20 years or so the State seems to have moved towards giving primacy to the English language title in all its new institutions or boards. For example, NAMA is now the common word rather than NUBS, which would be the Irish abbreviation of the title. That is one that comes to mind but there are others. If we accept that the Irish language is...
