The National Asset Management Agency has announced that it plans to invest up to €2 billion in development capital over the period to 2016 to preserve, enhance and complete commercial and residential projects and to develop Greenfield sites. NAMA have advised me that they are currently assessing a wide range of projects that may be suitable for development by reference to expected demand and decisions to invest will be based on those projects which are capable of generating the greatest return to the taxpayer. Pending completion of project appraisal, it is not possible to indicate the location of those projects.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 108 to 110, inclusive, together.

NAMA have advised me that debtors own property in Meath which is valued at €500 million by reference to a valuation date of November 2009. A further breakdown of this figure into commercial and residential projects is not available at present.

NAMA is prohibited by Sections 99 and 202 of the NAMA Act and by the normal rules of banking confidentiality from disclosing details relating to its debtors or their properties.

The Deputy will also note that a number of properties located in Meath are under the control of receivers appointed by NAMA. Further details on those properties are available on www.nama.ie.

The National Asset Management Agency itself does not own property in Meath

Information on NAMA's 80:20 Deferred Payment Initiative is available on NAMA's website, www.nama.ie, which confirms that 18 properties in Co. Meath were included in this pilot initiative. For reasons of debtor confidentiality, NAMA cannot confirm how many of these have been sold until such time as the pilot phase has been completed.
