€30m bill to lease Nama properties

The State paid €30m last year relating to the lease of 82 Nama-related properties.

In a written Dáil response to Sinn Féin TD Peadar Tóibín, Finance Minister Michael Noonan has confirmed: “Nama advises that 48 properties are located in Dublin and the neighbouring counties of Wicklow, Kildare and Meath; these account for 76% of total rental income.

“There are 24 properties located in counties Limerick, Cork and Galway and these account for a further 21% of total income. The residual properties are located throughout the rest of Ireland and account for 3% of rental income.”
