NAMA's impact on hotel sector "overstated", according to Noonan

Finance Minister Michael Noonan has said NAMA's potential impact on the hotel sector is "overstated".

In a written Dáil response, Mr Noonan said NAMA's debtors and receivers control 121 hotels, of which 117 are fully operating and four recently ceased trading.

In response to Independent TD Michael Healy-Rae, Mr Noonan said: "There are over 900 operating hotels in Ireland and, accordingly, NAMA has exposure to only 13% of the sector. Its potential impact on the overall viability of the sector is overstated.

"NAMA have advised that while the Competition Authority received complaints about NAMA's impact on the hotel sector, the authority decided not to pursue these complaints after engaging with NAMA.

"NAMA further advises that as a secured lender it will not advance funding to hotels that are not commercially viable as there would be no foreseeable return on such funding and, therefore, it would run contrary to NAMA's statutory commercial remit," he said.

Last night, the president of the Irish Hotels Federation, Michael Vaughan, said: "I welcome Minister Noonan’s clarity on this as Nama-controlled hotels are being confused with bank-controlled hotels.

Mr Vaughan said that "the long-term issue with hotels is their indebtedness and there is a debt of €7bn in the sector, with Nama hotels representing only a fraction of that".
