Question 291: To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he has had any discussions with the National Assets Management Agency regarding the possibility of capturing for the public good buildings under NAMA's remit which have no commercial potential and which might be suitable as local facilities for art and culture; if any discussions have yielded a positive outcome; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to my answer to Parliamentary Question No 60 of Tuesday 18 October, 2011. I have met the chair and chief executive of NAMA in relation to the potential use of NAMA buildings for cultural purposes.

NAMA states that it is required to deal with a range of sensitive financial matters in carrying out its functions and is restricted in regard to the information it may make available in relation to assets. Contacts, as appropriate, continue with NAMA.
