A five-judge Supreme Court has unanimously rejected arguments by the National Assets Management Agency that it is not a public authority subject to freedom of environmental information requests.

IT may be overstating the case to say a citadel fell yesterday, but only just. 

The Supreme Court has reserved judgment on a key issue in an appeal by Nama against a decision that it is a public body subject to public access requests for environmental information.

The Supreme Court yesterday began hearing an appeal by Nama which centres on whether the agency is a public body and subject to public access requests for environmental information.

The High Court has today dismissed an appeal by the National Asset Management Agency (Nama) against a ruling by the Commissioner for Environmental Information that it is a public authority and therefore subject to information requests.
