I propose to take Questions Nos. 106 and 115 together.

I am advised by NAMA that the detail sought by the Deputy is available, for the period to end-September 2014, on the Agency's website, .  I am advised by NAMA that this information is updated quarterly and is also published on the website of the Housing Agency, .

As the Deputy is aware, NAMA has no role in determining the take-up of properties that it has made available for social housing as this is a matter for Housing Agency in conjunction with local authorities by reference to national and local housing and planning policy.
