Enda Kenny: ...réir an bhainisteora speisialta, tar éis am cuí beidh an cuid is mó dóibh siúd a bhí ag obair le Anglo Irish Bank agus IBRC in ann obair nua a fháíl sa chóras nua. Maidir leis na daoine a bheidh ag obair i NAMA, is daoine speisialta iad agus tá siad ag obair ar chúrsaí speisialta airgeadais. Mar adúirt an Teachta,...

Order of Business (6 Mar 2013)

Enda Kenny: ...tobann agus bhí brú ar an Rialtas an bainisteoir speisialta a chur isteach láithreach. Tá súil agam go mbeidh sé in ann déileáil le imní na ndaoine a bhí ag obair i IBRC agus atá ag obair i NAMA faoi láthair.

Leaders' Questions (5 Mar 2013)

Enda Kenny: ...in 2016. I recently viewed a video of plans for Moore Street and the surrounding area and there are a number of elements attached to this, including Dublin City Council, the Minister, NAMA, developers, owners and so on.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland Issues (20 Nov 2012)

Enda Kenny: ...in that city will attract an enormous - if I dare use the word - "gathering" to the region which will be of benefit to the economy and jobs. When one looks at the case where we discussed banks and NAMA with them, the Minister for Finance was able to report to the members present on views and progress being made there. When I saw First Minister Robinson and Deputy First Minister...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland Issues (20 Nov 2012)

Order of Business (19 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: The Deputy will be aware that the Minister for Finance has made changes to the board and the structure of NAMA and to the way it conducts its business. It is far more open than previously to Oireachtas representatives making legitimate queries about its policy.

Northern Ireland Issues (19 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: ...lead up to and during Ireland's Presidency of the European Union to be held from 1 January 2013.

Both you, a Cheann Comhairle, and Speaker Hay are to be...

Cabinet Sub-committee Meetings (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: ...shortly. This morning, the Government noted the report from the ESRI and the sub-committee will deal with it at its next meeting. I cannot yet confirm the agenda. Agreement was reached with NAMA to make available 2,000 properties for the purpose of social housing through leasing arrangements. The taskforce on the child and family support agency was established. These are important...

Leaders' Questions (29 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: ...will be employed in this regard, because this Government does not do business in the way it was done previously in this or any other sector. Deputy Adams may take it that in respect of sales of NAMA properties, these will be sold in the best interest of the taxpayer with the best price being obtained and with the highest ethical standards applying. If Deputy Adams has evidence of a...

Leaders' Questions (28 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: Tá a fhios agam go maith céard atá an Teachta a rá. Tá sé fíor gur labhair mé amach faoi struchtúr NAMA le fada. Tá a fhios mhaith aige freisin go bhfuair an t-Aire Airgeadais eolas agus comhairle faoi leith ó dhuine a bhfuil eolas aige faoi na nithe seo, agus gur mian leis athraithe ar struchtúir NAMA, mar atá sé faoi láthair, a thabhairt os comhair an Rialtais. I must point...

Leaders' Questions (28 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: As I said to Deputy Adams, the Minister for Finance has received some advice on the improvement in the situation in so far as NAMA is concerned. I remind him that it is important for the construction industry that there would be some movement in the property market in this country. I do not want a situation where because of a huge sense of fear on the one hand, as we had before the veneer...

Order of Business (21 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: The Minister for Finance received a number of propositions from an expert who looked at the structure of NAMA and he is actively pursuing that matter. We need to consider this issue carefully. NAMA must be able to fulfill its remit and to that end a three-person group is considering the situation. The Minister will report to the House when he has heard the group's deliberations.

Order of Business (21 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: The Minister received propositions from a competent person who did in the region of 90 hours' work looking at the structure of NAMA and he is anxious to bring in a number of recommendations as to how the situation might be moved forward. I do not have a timeline for the Deputy as to what proposals, legislative or otherwise, he will introduce.

Order of Business (21 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: Yes, led by a person of considerable competence who did 90 hours' work looking at the structure of NAMA. The Minister will return with that person's recommendations in due course. I made the point already that it is very difficult in a country of this size to find persons to look at NAMA. The property portfolio is so large that it is difficult to find people who are not connected to it in...

Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: ...regulations is the responsibility of the 37 local authorities. I agree that heads should be put together. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government has been in touch and NAMA has offered some accommodation, as the Deputy knows. The Minister of State met some of the residents to hear their genuine concerns. There is a court case coming up and there are questions...

Order of Business (8 Feb 2012)

Enda Kenny: ...to freedom of information will be introduced later this year. A number of areas require discussion and analysis before the Minister can move on it. The firms which tender to give legal advice to NAMA are selected from panels established following a competitive tendering process. Individual assignments are normally awarded after the receipt of further tenders designed to ensure the most...

Order of Business (31 Jan 2012)

Enda Kenny: The legislation in question will be published later this year. The Minister for Finance is taking an interest in how NAMA is proceeding. It has moved somewhat from its original difficulties. There is a perception that the matter needs to be looked at again, however. The Minister for Finance got expert opinion on NAMA's structure and how it might be facilitated to bring about faster...
