NAMA is in negotiations with sports clubs about using ten of its vacant green field sites for sporting facilities.
Meanwhile, further talks are progressing with local authorities in relation to 2,000 housing units which the National Asset Management Agency has earmarked as suitable for social housing.
The vacant green field sites under the control of NAMA are located in five counties - Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Tipperary and Westmeath.
Both GAA and soccer clubs are involved in the various negotiations for the lands under NAMA's control.
NAMA has said that a deal has to be struck between the individual sports clubs and the property owners or in the case of sites in receivership, the receiver.
The Football Association of Ireland has said it had plans for clubs to use NAMA land. It has said that NAMA's management of lands provided clubs with the opportunity to acquire lands that they normally would not be able to buy.
The Dublin GAA County Board is so keen to use NAMA land for its clubs that it has even included it in its strategic development plan.
Strategic Programme Manager with the Dublin County Board Kevin O'Shaughnessy has said that the lack of physical facilities was the biggest obstacle to the GAA's expansion and that as NAMA was now the biggest landowner in the country, it could provide a huge social dividend to the GAA.
He has said that it is essential that clubs got access to unused lands.
On the separate issue of social housing, talks are progressing with local authorities in eight counties about the 2,045 units which NAMA has identified as suitable for social housing and has offered to local authorities.
Nearly 80% of the NAMA units on offer are in Dublin and Cork. In Dublin almost all are apartments, while the Cork properties are more evenly split.
Local authorities identified the housing units which they want for social housing provisions and the Housing Agency is now deciding whether there is sufficient social housing demand for local authorities to lease those units.
76% of the units identified across the eight counties are apartments.
NAMA identified 910 suitable units across the four Dublin local authorities. Only 21 are houses.
There are 678 units available in Cork City and county; 374 apartments and 304 houses.
In Co Meath 179 units have been identified; 166 apartments and 13 houses.
Co Kildare has 113 units, comprising 88 apartments and 25 houses.
Across Galway, there are 57 units which consist of 38 apartments and 19 houses.
In Limerick, NAMA has identified 42 suitable units - all of them are houses.
Across Waterford city and county there are 27 units, all houses.
In Wicklow, there are also 27 units available, all houses.
There are 12 suitable units in Cavan, which are also all houses.
