The National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) plays an important role in the delivery of social housing. To the end of June 2016, a total of 2,135 residential properties, which are part of the security for loans that NAMA has acquired, had been secured for use by local authorities or approved housing bodies. These comprise 1,588 completed properties and a further 547 that had been contracted and where completion work is ongoing. A further 119 properties were considered as being active transactions whereby terms are agreed or active negotiation is ongoing, and 390 other properties were to be further appraised for their suitability. These and other statistics are available on the website of the Housing Agency at www.housing.ie/NAMA.

The table below gives the breakdown, by county, of units secured for social housing through NAMA. A breakdown per annum will be compiled and forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
