Focus Ireland: NAMA must have 'social dividend'

Focus Ireland, the housing and homeless charity, has called on the Government to ensure that the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) delivers a 'social dividend'.

Focus Ireland CEO, Joyce Loughnan said: "Focus Ireland is proposing that NAMA should be given the power to undertake a ‘Land and Housing Management Strategy’. The aim would be to ensure that residential property or land that becomes the legal property of NAMA can be put to social use.
