As the Deputy may be aware, NAMA does not typically own or control properties; rather NAMA owns loans for which the properties act as security. The properties securing NAMA’s loans are owned and controlled by their registered owners, or appointed receivers in the case of enforcement.

The Deputy will appreciate that, under Sections 99 and 202 the NAMA Act and in line with normal banking confidentiality, NAMA is legally precluded from disclosing information relating to debtors or their properties. However, I am advised that NAMA’s involvement with the referenced property ended in 2018 when the property was sold by its owner and NAMA released its charge accordingly.

I wish to inform the Deputy that the management of State Property is a matter for the Office of Public Works (OPW). The OPW are under the aegis of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER). As such, I suggest that queries on the use and management of any such land be directed to that Department who are better placed to respond regarding such queries.  

In the interest of providing assistance to the Deputy with his query, my Department consulted with DPER and the OPW on this matter. Following consultation, the OPW advised that they can find no record of the mentioned property on their records or under the records of the State Property Registry for the Department of Finance.
