Nama to build 20,000 homes by 2020

Nama is to build 20,000 homes and provide new office space as part of a €5.6bn Dublin Docklands project.

The news came as it was revealed that prefab homes promised to homeless families currently living in emergency accommodation will not now be ready before Christmas as was promised.

The Nama announcement was made on the same day as a bill to abolish the controversy-plagued Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) passed through the Dáil.
