National Asset Management Agency: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (21 Oct 2015)

Dara Calleary: ...very good employees; the best in the world. However, when companies such as this use it in this manner, it explains why we must defend our regime all over the world and why the State is getting such a bad reputation.

Topical Issue Debate: Upward-Only Rent Reviews (26 Mar 2013)

Dara Calleary: The judgment yesterday gives us the opportunity to discuss this matter today. I must clarify for Deputy McNamara that I did not make a direct link. Unfortunately, the Minister did not get a chance to address the work of NAMA. Can it be confirmed that any NAMA rent deal will be entered into the new property leases database? Will the Minister give us an idea as to when that database will be...

I would love to see a response to the Minister's letter to leaders of the...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Sep 2009)

Dara Calleary: NAMA is certainly not a get-out clause and I welcome Deputy Simon Coveney's remarks that he saw it as not being a get-out clause for the developers and those that fate has thrown around. Loans will be followed up. Those who have the loans will still be followed up in the same fashion as they were previously. While NAMA will ultimately solve the fiduciary and monetary issues facing our...

Leaders' Questions (16 Feb 2017)

Dara Calleary: ..., from which it seems to be reversing. As the Minister knows, it was reported in 2015 that Project Eagle, a loan portfolio of 850 properties across Northern Ireland, was sold for €1.6 billion by NAMA. There is considerable concern that this was not the true value of this amount of property and that the true value was not sought or delivered. The Comptroller and Auditor General...

Dara Calleary: ...the economy. On the other side of the balance sheet, we have introduced a range of fiscal cuts - all opposed - in order to show that as a country we were gearing ourselves for the downturn ahead. NAMA and the proposals outlined in detail yesterday by the Minister, Deputy Brian Lenihan, provide us with a direction and purpose for how we will proceed. I agree with much of what Deputy...

Leaders' Questions (16 Feb 2017)

Dara Calleary: ...few weeks ago that, in his view, there did not seem to be adequate grounds for a commission? That does not suggest to me that the Minister is "completely cut off". The question is one of whether NAMA delivered the best return possible on taxpayers' money. In the view of the Comptroller and Auditor General, our spending watchdog, it did not. The notion that the Minister could be cut off...

Banking System: Statements (1 Apr 2010)

Dara Calleary: ...that exist and it shows that this Government is determined to tackle the problems head on in order to ensure we get out of this crisis as quickly as possible.

Social Housing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (27 Jan 2016)

Dara Calleary: ...Government has not intervened. The Minister stated today, in his homage on "Today with Sean O'Rourke", that it would be illegal for him to get involved in such matters. While that is correct, Ministers have intervened with NAMA in respect of tourism and community projects. If ever the social clause in the NAMA legislation should be invoked, surely the provision of housing is a more...

Strategic Investment Bank: Motion. (27 Apr 2010)

Housing Affordability: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jan 2015)

Dara Calleary: ...cannot come up with a way of matching the two. Any elected Member of this House who has any kind of sense would be in favour of a scheme that would involve the completion of houses that are in the control of NAMA or the State-owned banks. Such a scheme would create employment and give a craft to people who are without employment. Former construction workers continue to constitute the...
