National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages
6:00 pm
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
The Minister is nodding, and I know it is an attractive proposition, but it does not fulfil all our problems. It is a logical answer which is why the Minister finds it attractive. However, I still had to ask how the Minister was going to fulfil the sop he gave to the Green Party in section 2(b)(viii) of a community aspect to all this. I thought this would be one way to do it. I am waiting for a reasonable explanation from the Minister as to how this works. What was the intention of the Parliamentary Counsel and the Minister and what would he do with a couple more buildings or half-built houses or 50 houses? I will listen closely to the Minister's answer because as Senator Donohoe said, much depends on this.
