Page 24 of the programme for Government states that the Government will request NAMA to review its business plans to encourage it to be more ambitious in the area of housing delivery. It is something of which NAMA always reminds us in its annual report. Last week a receiver notified residents in Riverwood Hall in Carpenterstown that they would be evicted, that is, nine households and up to 30 residents. It is shocking that has occurred in our constituency. Over the weekend, one of the residents was notified by the receiver that NAMA was one of the main parties to this eviction. It is highly inappropriate that NAMA, as a State agency, is circumventing the law, in the context of the Residential Tenancies Act 2016 and the Tyrrelstown amendment, is undermining the legislation the Taoiseach and his Government enacted and is deliberately evicting residents. It undermines everything that is in the programme for Government.

I want to know everything the Government intends to do to address this and what the Taoiseach's view of NAMA is given that it is circumventing legislation introduced by his Government and is central to an eviction process which will turf out residents from their homes where they will face homelessness. This shows a dysfunction in housing policy that is occurring on our doorstep.

I thank the Deputy for the question. On NAMA, which comes under the Department of the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, its latest quarterly report came before the Cabinet this morning. It talked about the many thousands of new homes that have been built on NAMA-indebted sites throughout the country. More than 2,000 social housing homes have been provided to local authorities as well. This is to note some of the good work that NAMA is doing.

On the specific situation referred to by the Deputy, I am currently in conversation with the Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, on the Tyrrelstown amendment. It was tested recently at the RTB and that threw up a couple of issues. We are in discussions with the RTB around the issue of evictions. The law is clear. It was the legal advice at the time around the number of properties at any given time. However, the spirit of the law has to be observed. If it is not being observed, that is exactly what we will look at.
