Seanad: Order of Business (14 Dec 2011)

Mark Daly: .... I also wish to second Senator Cullinane's amendment. The legislation to which I refer relates to a matter we discussed in the House on 29 January last in respect of the lack of transparency in NAMA. In June, the Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, voiced his concern with regard to developers buying back their own properties. NAMA put in place a website in July but, unfortunately, it is far...

Mark Daly: ...of Europe. The constitution that the Union tried to pass was shot down by the Dutch and will not be passed by the people under duress. I welcome my Kerry colleague's seeking of transparency in NAMA. He was obviously reading transcripts of my statements on the lack of transparency therein.

Seanad: Order of Business. (18 Oct 2011)

Mark Daly: ...up to 28 November. Nobody knows what will happen after that but there are vacant apartments in the vicinity, in Belmayne and Clongriffin, which are in the control of the Government by way of NAMA. They are fully fitted out and ready to be used and yet €200,000 will be expended on hotel accommodation. Why are the facilities which, unfortunately, we own, not being used to accommodate...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Oct 2011)

Mark Daly: I also support my colleague in regard to the National Asset Management Agency Act and his call for the Minister for Finance to come to the House tomorrow. There is no transparency in NAMA. The sweetheart deals it is doing will eventually come out in the wash but it is the taxpayer who will be at a loss. I support Senator Mullen's call for a debate on the media. Notwithstanding the...

Seanad: Family Home Bill 2011: Second Stage (27 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: ...respect, Fianna Fáil will call for a vote on this motion. The problem is massive and people with more knowledge of economics than me have told us that this is the second tsunami, that it is like NAMA, only bigger. The banks will eventually come to us looking for more money. The numbers are relatively small as a result of the moratoriums put in place by the previous Government. I...

Seanad: Order of Business (12 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: ...were making progress on the issue until the untimely general election. We do not care which Kerryman opens the building, even if it is my Seanad colleague, Senator Paul Coghlan. I will not mention NAMA today but I ask the Leader to invite the appropriate Minister to the House to discuss the proposed price increases from Bord Gáis. For the past two years, under a Fianna Fáil-led...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: ...for Justice and Equality to the House. Prior to the dissolution of the previous Dáil, legislation was proposed to reform the National Asset Management Agency. I understand a delegation of NAMA met members of the Fine Gael Party yesterday to discuss how the agency does its business. Perhaps the Leader will indicate whether the delegation proposed that the website announced two weeks ago...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jul 2011)

Mark Daly: I thank Senator Coghlan for his contribution. While the agency may be operating within the law, the problem is that it is not open and transparent. People need to have confidence in NAMA because taxpayers' money is involved. I ask the Leader to arrange to have the Minister for Justice and Equality come before the House to discuss the issue of data protection. The religious orders and...

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: NAMA Transparency Bill 2011: First Stage (30 Jun 2011)

Mark Daly: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) Act 2009 and to provide that, in the interests of transparency, all relevant details of properties offered for sale by or with the approval of NAMA be available to the public by means of publication on a website.

Seanad: Order of Business (30 Jun 2011)

Mark Daly: I move an amendment to the Order of Business: "That No. 12 be taken before No. 1. on the Order of Business." It is a procedural issue on the publication of the NAMA Transparency Bill 2011. Will the Deputy Leader bring the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to the House to deal with the fact that the church is still not aiding the child sex abuse audit. It is an...

Seanad: Order of Business (29 Jun 2011)

Mark Daly: I congratulate Senator Cullinane on his good news. Will the Leader make time available tomorrow for a discussion in the House on the NAMA transparency Bill, which we intend to introduce? I do not doubt that my colleague from County Kerry, Senator Paul Coghlan, will be delighted to support legislation that aims to bring transparency to the way NAMA does its business. The Bill, which is very...

Seanad: Whistleblower Legislation: Motion (29 Jun 2011)

Mark Daly: ...in this House - I am glad that the House affords protection to me - credible and trustworthy information that I got from a believable source that developers were buying back their properties from NAMA through third parties at less than the current market value. I met NAMA and gave the remedy to this, which is that all properties, which are essentially State assets, should be put on a...

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...
