Written answers

I am advised that, following the review process undertaken by NAMA, as outlined in my response to PQ [46748/18], NAMA collated a list of potentially suitable properties which was shared with the Housing Agency. The Housing Agency, in turn, engaged with the relevant local authorities to determine if there was demand in the geographical areas in which potentially suitable houses were located.

Under sections 99 and 202 of the NAMA Act, NAMA is prohibited from disclosing confidential debtor information, including information on the assets owned by its debtors. It is therefore not possible to provide information on the exact location of properties identified as potentially suitable for social housing.

NAMA publishes comprehensive information regarding its social housing delivery programme on the agency website (www.nama.ie ). The information is updated each quarter.

The following table provides a breakdown by Local Authority of units identified as potentially suitable for social housing by NAMA since inception.
