Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2013)

Mark Daly: What we need in NAMA is transparency for the good of NAMA, the taxpayer, NAMA employees and for the betterment of the structure of NAMA.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2011)

Mark Daly: I will, if the Taoiseach agrees to it. Fianna Fáil will propose the NAMA transparency Bill so that every asset under the control of NAMA, whether a loan or a property, will be on the NAMA website. In that way, any person in this country or beyond can see what NAMA is selling and how people can bid for it. I propose an amendment to the Order of Business requesting the Taoiseach attends the...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: Will the Leader follow up on my request to bring the Attorney General to the House under Standing Order 56? When I made it several weeks ago, the Taoiseach later also raised concerns about the way NAMA was selling property. Given the enormous sums of money involved in the NAMA portfolio and the concerns that I have raised about how it is selling properties back to developers, it is...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2012)

Mark Daly: -----why NAMA is not selling property in an open and transparent manner. Under the legislation, NAMA must sell those properties as if they were State assets, which must be sold by auction or tender. As Senator Paul Coghlan is aware, most of the time we only find out after the event that properties have been sold. In some cases, the people who took out the large loans in the first place are...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2011)

Mark Daly: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that the Taoiseach attend the Chamber to discuss NAMA and his statement last week about his sources and what they told him. It is unusual that the Taoiseach agrees with me on concerns about developers buying back property. The Taoiseach has since rowed back but I maintain my position. My sources are willing to meet the Taoiseach to explain...

Seanad: NAMA and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Transparency Bill 2011: Second Stage (6 Jun 2012)

Mark Daly: ...the Minister for his reply. I am not happy that the Government has come up with a number of reasons that, in themselves, are at variance with some of the facts. As I and colleagues have outlined, NAMA proposed a website six months after I proposed it but it is limiting its one only to properties of which it has taken title control. That represents a very small fraction of all the loans...

Seanad: Order of Business (2 May 2012)

Mark Daly: ...silence and inaction of the church that allows the abuse to continue which is the grave crime. Anybody who hears about it is totally appalled. Will the Leader allow time for a discussion on the NAMA and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Transparency Bill 2011 which my colleagues and I have published? This Bill allows the public to see the properties that NAMA is selling. Last week a...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2013)

Mark Daly: I am asking the Leader about issues which I have raised previously in relation to lands that have been sold not only below market value but for less than that for which they were sold to NAMA. Properties for sale to developers or people in the know are not being made available to the public by way of list or advertisement in the newspapers and so on. We previously asked in the context of...

Seanad: NAMA and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Transparency Bill 2011: Second Stage (6 Jun 2012)

Mark Daly: ...important legislation and I ask the Minister to consider it thoroughly. The people of Ireland must have confidence in institutions of the State. On 20 February 2012, the Financial Times described NAMA as one of the largest property companies in the world. On 26 January 2011, I raised this matter first in this House with the then Minister for Finance, Deputy Brian Lenihan, when I...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2011 (Certified Money Bill): Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Jan 2011)

Mark Daly: NAMA has turned around and said it does not have to follow the code of conduct for the sale of State assets. I maintain these are State assets because we provided the money. NAMA owes us the money. I do not care whether NAMA follows the code or not, but there is no transparency and there are bad practices going on. I do not want to be doing a post mortem here in a year's time when it has...

Seanad: Order of Business (3 May 2012)

Mark Daly: I am asking that the Leader allow time for the introduction of the NAMA and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Transparency Bill 2011. We are asking NAMA to sell everything on the open market in accordance with legislation enacted by the Dáil and Seanad. I halved state on numerous occasions that NAMA is, under section 35 of that legislation, supposed to sell land in accordance with the sale...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2012)

Mark Daly: Will the Leader allow time for the reintroduction of the NAMA and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Transparency Bill 2011? As of August, 2,500 properties had been sold by NAMA for ¤4.6 billion, yet the Minister for Finance is unable to tell us how many of those were sold in an open and transparent manner. NAMA refuses to tell him how many were put on the market, publicly advertised or...

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jun 2011)

Mark Daly: She. Under section 35 of the NAMA legislation a code of practice was to be established within three months. This has been done. The code of practice states that all assets under the control of NAMA should be sold under the code of conduct for the governance of State bodies, which means that every asset, be it a loan or property, should be sold by auction or tender. This is not happening....

Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) (25 Nov 2009)

Mark Daly: ...for €50,000 or €100,000 and having been paying a mortgage thereon. In such cases, they would be stuck with a field without planning permission. We could work on one measure, a power given to NAMA. Some of my colleagues in this Chamber and around the country will be aware that in recent months a number of planning permissions lapsed. I refer to one-off cases in rural areas where...

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Dec 2013)

Mark Daly: I second the amendment to the Order of Business that a member of the Government come to the House today to discuss the revelations in relation to NAMA. I thank my colleague, Senator O'Brien, for raising this issue which I have raised on a number of occasions in the House. This is a serious issue. It has been in the ether for a long time that former developers have been benefiting in terms...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2011 (Certified Money Bill): Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Jan 2011)

Mark Daly: I have not. I am not an investigator, but NAMA is not following the code of conduct. It says it does do not have to. Transparency is the key factor in this matter, but NAMA is not following the code of conduct.

Seanad: NAMA and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Transparency Bill 2011: Second Stage (6 Jun 2012)

Mark Daly: On Wednesday, 15 June last year, he questioned NAMA's activities. I have outlined in this House, if the Senator was listening, that NAMA has sold property in Baker Street and in Cork, of which Senator Coghlan is aware, and that it gave them away.

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2012)

Mark Daly: NAMA paid ¤32 billion for those properties, yet we do not know and the public is not told how many of them have been sold in an open and transparent manner, as is required under the NAMA legislation.

Seanad: Order of Business (2 Jun 2010)

Mark Daly: ...in international waters are to be condemned. I welcome the debate to be held this evening, which the Minister will attend. Senator Coghlan raised an important issue concerning the power of NAMA and its contacts with county councils to prevent dezoning of land. As the Senator is well aware, this has been a controversial issue in County Kerry, as it is elsewhere. NAMA has serious powers...

Seanad: Order of Business (18 Jun 2013)

Mark Daly: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business that the National Asset Management Agency transparency Bill be taken today in the light of the fact that former employees of NAMA are threatening Members of the House. Mr. Paul Hennigan was employed by NAMA and went to work for an asset fund in London. Part of his job-----
