MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, November 09, 2015

QUESTION NO. 15

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

Can the Chief Executive report on what dealings or offers have been made to SDCC regarding properties held by NAMA, his/her view on the merit or otherwise of NAMA properties in the county and what obstacles- financial or otherwise- the council faces regarding the potential utilisation of NAMA properties?

REPLY:

The Council’s Housing Department was recently offered 8 units by NAMA for leasing purposes. The Council acquired through NARPS 65 units at Tallaght Cross and is in discussion in relation to a number of other possible proposals. Previous requests for interest in a number of units did not progress mainly as the units were so incomplete or construction had not started and viewed at the time as premature to acquire them. The council is now working with NARPs on one of those proposals as development now complete.
