The following year it bought large parts of two Maynooth housing estates.
Plans are due before Cabinet next week aimed at tacking the issue of funds bulk-buying large numbers of homes in estates.
Sinn Fein Housing spokesperson, Eoin O'Broin, says government involvement in these types of funds isn't good enough:
