NAMA and the Housing Crisis in Ireland

This chapter explores the role of the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) in managing toxic loans following the 2008 financial crash in Ireland. It critiques how government policies and investment funds have exacerbated the housing crisis, particularly affecting vulnerable populations. By contrasting successful models from other countries with the inadequacies of the Irish system, the chapter calls for a reevaluation of housing strategies to prioritize affordability and security.
