I propose to take Questions Nos. 220 and 296 together.

I am informed that NAMA officials held a meeting with local authority officials at the request of the latter. As NAMA had not acquired any assets, the meeting was limited to a discussion of general issues and did not focus on how NAMA would operate in detail.

As regards the matter of lobbying referred to by the Deputy, I can assure the House that NAMA has not been lobbying to have land rezoned in order to increase its value. Neither do I expect such lobbying to occur in the future.
