Enda Kenny: ...will have an opportunity tomorrow to have the information given to him and evidence to back it up, if necessary. This can be raised at the committee that is accountable to the House in respect of NAMA. With regard to the women's refuge in Tallaght that the Deputy mentioned, I do not have the details. If it was in receipt of €350,000 per year, there must be a reason-----
- Order of Business (30 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: We have made the point that NAMA itself has been before the Committee of Public Accounts discussing these matters in some considerable detail. Its representatives will be appearing again tomorrow. With regard to Longboat Quay, the Minister has moved to address this. Clearly, it is a matter for the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, the receiver to the developer, the residents...
- Leaders' Questions (30 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy has raised a number of issues. The remit of NAMA is to make and return a profit to the Irish taxpayer. While NAMA was expected to end its responsibilities by 2020, it may have finished its remit some time before that. As I said, that remit is to return a profit, where possible, for the Irish taxpayer. The Deputy said €4 billion is required now. As we meet here, the...
- Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: It is not a question of not having an interest. On the issue relating to NAMA and the Northern Ireland portfolio, for example, there are two investigations ongoing, one by the police and one by the parliamentary commission. Questions have been answered at some considerable length here in the House by the Minister for Finance on this matter. Whatever papers or correspondence is necessary or...
- Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: That is another allegation the Deputy makes. It will not be part of our history. NAMA is responsible to the Houses of the Oireachtas, of which Deputy Wallace is a Member. He comes in here week after week with very strong statements and allegations. I cannot say whether what he says is true or whether he can back it up.
- Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: ...the Deputy has gone to the police force and the crime investigations unit but perhaps he does not want these questions raised - or to have somebody raise them on his behalf - at the body to which NAMA is responsible, and through which it is responsible to this House.
- Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: If there is an issue here, the questions that have been asked and the questions that have been answered by NAMA mean there is nothing wrong on the seller's side. If there is anything wrong, it seems to be on the purchaser's side.
- Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: I thank the Deputy for going to the Garda and the crime investigations unit. I hope he will supply a full list of questions in order that NAMA can comprehensively address these issues at the Committee of Public Accounts.
- Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: ...have met and engaged on a range of opportunities that will help us to move this forward and to provide more houses. The Minister for Finance has referred to the opportunities that might exist with NAMA's land bank and the possibility of more housing there. No matter what happens, however, we cannot deal with the situation effectively until one starts to put blocks and concrete on the...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2015)
Enda Kenny: ...way. I am advised that the loan sale was executed in a proper manner. Despite all the confusion and the coverage in the media, the fact is that there are no claims of wrongdoing against NAMA. The loan portfolio sold for €1.5 billion because that is what the properties securing the loans were worth. The original amounts of €5.7 billion that were loaned by the banks prior...

Enda Kenny: -----before which it recently appeared to discuss these important issues. Furthermore, as Deputy Martin will understand, NAMA undertook to respond to any written questions that the Northern Ireland Assembly committee may have regarding the sale which were not covered during the appearance of NAMA before the Committee of Public Accounts on 9 July. Last month, the committee submitted a list...

Enda Kenny: ..., Deputy Kelly, has committed the additional funding for that. Third, the expert group set up to look at social housing and homelessness looked at this on an individual basis to oversee the delivery of a NAMA property, an apartment block in south Dublin which is now operating a 65-unit accommodation facility. The question of modular housing was raised at the Cabinet sub-committee on a...
- Order of Business (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: In respect of the last question, obviously the Government does not dictate to NAMA what legal cases might arise or how NAMA might contest any legal cases. The case Deputy Martin mentioned went to the Supreme Court and NAMA lost. Obviously the Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts is fully entitled to have representatives of NAMA before that committee and bring the transparency, which...

Enda Kenny: ...speak for anybody in Northern Ireland in regard to this. There is a criminal investigation going on there. As I understand it from yesterday's discussion here, there are no allegations against NAMA or personnel down here. I read out what the chronology of the actions of the Minister for Finance was-----
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: As I understand it, there is no basis for any criminal charge that I have heard, either against NAMA or anybody associated with it or the Minister for Finance or anybody in the Department of Finance.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: ...in different sectors, including members of the Judiciary. He made comments in respect of a former Secretary General of the Department of Finance, as well as comments generally in respect of NAMA. Let me repeat again for him. The process of accountability and transparency in this jurisdiction in respect of NAMA is the Committee of Public Accounts in the Oireachtas, chaired by a Member...

Enda Kenny: ...identified in Departments or where it is deemed to be appropriate and a priority to deal with such matters. They are part of the budget Estimates process. The Government does not dictate to NAMA on matters about which it might seek legal advice or pursuit through the courts. In this case, the Supreme Court has provided clarity, given that NAMA lost the case. The Government does not...
- Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: I wish to clarify what I said about the personnel from the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General. I think I said they served on the board of NAMA, but that is not true. They are part of the NAMA company from the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General but not board members. The Deputy asked about what she called the "kickback". When the compliance section of Pimco brought...

Enda Kenny: ...if anybody has evidence of illegality or criminality, he or she should bring it to the attention of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. She asks if we are expected to believe the activities of NAMA in this matter were legal. If she is insinuating that they are illegal, I advise her to bring such an accusation before the PSNI. She commented on the difference of opinion between Mr....

Enda Kenny: The Deputy was in possession of material from the Committee of Public Accounts. The remit of NAMA is to return a profit for the taxpayer on its extensive sales portfolio and it is responsible to this House and the public through the Committee of Public Accounts and the reports of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General.
