Paul Murphy Demands Emergency Housing Debate Over NAMA Head Allegations
Paul Murphy called for an emergency debate on the Government's housing policy, saying the Government's credibility has collapsed further with the debacle over the housing star. He demanded an immediate parliamentary debate and questioned whether Brendan Macdonough can remain as head of NAMA given questions about aliases, planning submissions and short-term rental charges.
Paul Murphy said he had asked for a debate on the Government's housing policy or lack of it and insisted an emergency debate is needed this week on housing.
He asked whether the Government agrees that it is untenable for Brendan Macdonough to remain as head of NAMA after he has been using different aliases in legal documents submitted to the Land Registry and in planning applications.
Murphy said Macdonough is charging over €10,000 a week to rent a property short-term without Planning Commission and ORPZ, raising questions about planning compliance and oversight.
The speaker framed these issues as a further collapse in the Government's credibility following the housing star debacle and pushed for parliamentary scrutiny and accountability on housing, NAMA and planning matters.

Transcript
Last week I asked for a debate on the Government's housing policy or lack of it. Since then the Government's credibility has collapsed even further with the debacle over the housing star. We need an emergency debate this week on housing. Does the Government agree that it is untenable for Brendan Macdonough to remain as head of NAMA when he has been using different aliases in legal documents submitted to the Land Registry and in planning applications and when he is charging over €10,000 a week to rent a property short-term without Planning Commission and ORPZ.
