It was farcical. Just after 12pm, the 13 members of the PAC filed into the AV Room in Leinster House to address the media.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan is under pressure to explain why he met with US vulture fund officials over Project Eagle, a €1.6bn state property sale which a report says was “seriously deficient”.

The biggest property deal in the North's history was "seriously deficient", the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said.

The final report into the multibillion-euro Project Eagle scandal is set to be published within two weeks and will include damning findings against Finance Minister Michael Noonan.

The Public Accounts Committee’s report in Project Eagle has found it was not appropriate to give preferential treatment to any organisations engaged in the final stages of a bidding process for the purchase of assets owned by the State, or involved in a tendering process under public procurement.

We may need an inquiry into Nama’s Project Eagle sales in the North, but why is the State run in a manner that necessitates inquiries to get at the truth, asks Michael Clifford.

The bosses of Nama have insisted there was no boardroom row over the controversial €1.6bn Project Eagle deal.

Northern Ireland deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has insisted he had “no involvement” in the appointment of businessman Frank Cushnahan to a Nama advisory group linked to Project Eagle.

Nama has denied that some potential investors were discouraged from participating in the controversial £1.3bn (€1.6bn) sale of its Northern Ireland loan book, known as Project Eagle, writes Daniel McConnell of the Irish Examiner.

Three senior Nama board members have rejected claims the State property group made any attempts to help a US investment firm stay in the Project Eagle bidding process after fixers’ fee concerns were raised.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan has insisted he did not put pressure on NAMA to sell the multi-billion euro Project Eagle property bundle in 2014, writes Fiachra O Cionnaith of the Irish Examiner.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan will issue a staunch defence of any actions he took relating to the controversial Project Eagle deal when he attends a cross-party grilling today.

The articulate Waterford Fine Gael TD has long clashed with his boss, and Nama’s Northern Ireland loan portfolio is just the latest flashpoint, writes Daniel McConnell.

Nama chose not to “terminate” Frank Cushnahan’s role with the group when serious conflict of interest allegations surrounding Project Eagle first emerged because to do so would have damaged a recession-hit Ireland’s reputation even further.

Nama must be held accountable for its handling of the controversial sale of a £1.2bn (€1.39bn) Northern Ireland property portfolio, the Public Accounts Committe has insisted.

The State’s financial watchdog will stand over his investigation into Nama’s highly criticised €1.3bn Project Eagle today and defend the expertise used to probe the agency’s actions.

Fine Gael ministers initially resisted committing to the idea of an investigation into Nama’s Project Eagle during this week’s Cabinet meeting, the Irish Examiner has learnt.

Political parties have agreed the need for a statutory inquiry to be set up into Nama and Project Eagle but disagree on whether other deals should be probed.

The Government and Opposition have agreed in principle there should be a statutory commission of investigation into NAMA's sale of Project Eagle.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan faces questions about why he let a firesale of Nama’s £1.6bn Northern loans proceed and did not stop it after the emergency of success fee payments in bids.

Nama has insisted it got the best price possible for its controversial Northern Ireland property portfolio.

Political reporter Fiachra Ó'Cionnaith breaksdown the 'Project Eagle' report and gives us an insight into what is to come.

The prospect of a cross-border Nama inquiry should not be completely ruled out, according to Stormont's finance minister.

Nama’s resistance to public scrutiny over its handling of the sale of a distressed loans in the North could result in harmful political fallout, writes Eamon Quinn

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has described allegations of bags of cash being paid to a former adviser to Nama as incredible and extraordinary.

The Government is coming under increasing pressure to establish a commission of investigation into the sale of Nama’s Northern Ireland loan book.
