PAC TDs accuse Nama of being political tool

Deputies at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) accused Nama of becoming a political tool as it was revealed the latest appointee to the Nama board was a Fine Gael trustee.

Independent TD Shane Ross criticised Nama for failing to mention that the last member appointed to its board is a trustee of Fine Gael.

The appointee was Mari Hurley, who was appointed in April, and will join a former Fine Gael director of elections in Minister for Finance Michael Noonan’s constituency, Brian McEnerny, on the board.
