A community group in Granard, Co.Longford (pictured left at a protest) led by the local parish priest Fr.Simon Cadam have challenged NAMA to do what it was set up to do and "contribute to the social and economic development of the State" section 2, NAMA Act. The group wants NAMA to sell the 15 acres of land, known locally as The Motte Field to the group for development as an Interpretative Centre which they say will employ 10. The issue highlights the issue of placing property price speculation above the needs of the community.
