20,000 nationwide

NAMA controls enough land to build 1,340 homes in Co. Kildare.

The figures were released by the Finance Minister, Pascal Donohue in response to a recent parliamentary question by Sinn Féin's Housing spokesperson, Eoin Ó Broin.

Nationally, NAMA controls enough land to build at least 20,000 homes.

Deputy Ó Broin joined this morning's 'Kildare Today' noting "[W]e need to see these lands as part NAMA's dividend's to the State".

Adding "NAMA has now recouped the debts, it's generating a surplus".

Most of the land is in high-demand/commuter areas, such as Kildare, Dublin, Wicklow & Meath.

63 hectares of this land (with a potential for 2,745 housing units) have planning permission attached.

Listen back to Eoin Ó Broin's interview with Clem Ryan, on Tuesday's 'Kildare Today':
