NAMA continues to appoint receivers to developers at a brisk pace, and today we learn from Iris Oifigiuil that the bell tolls for County Antrim developer Alastair Jackson and three of his companies, Naviasky Limited, Tarajan Limited and Botha Limited – all three registered in the Isle of Man. For the first time, NAMA has used the services of Lisney in Dublin and Peter Stapleton is named as the property receiver.
According to the BBC, company documents suggest Naviasky had lands at Suncroft, the Curragh in County Kildare, Tarajan had property at Gowran in County Kilkenny while Botha had property at Walterstown, Nurney, County Kildare.
Alastair Jackson mightn’t be a very well-known developer on this side of the Border but he made headlines last year when the Revenue Commissioners (Irish tax authorities) recovered €3.6m from the main Jackson company, Eassda. Beyond the assets mentioned above, Alastair has been associated with two golf resorts, the Moyvalley hotel and golf club in Kildare and the New Forest golf club in Westmeath.
Remember you can see a comprehensive list of confirmed Irish foreclosure action by NAMA here and in this regularly updated spreadsheet.

Looks like the Gowran property has an unhappy recent history, including going on fire
