Northern Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir has said Northern Ireland’s entire political system has been corrupted by the £1.24bn Project Eagle property sale.

The winner of the controversial multi-billion euro Project Eagle Nama deal paid two firms heavily involved in a previous bid stg£15m for help "accessing" Finance Minister Michael Noonan and "the Northern Ireland executive".

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 been accused by US investment firm Pimco of “repeatedly mischaracterising” its role in the controversial sale of its Northern Ireland loan book.

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.

A senior Nama director has dismissed as "simply wrong" claims that Nama lost up to €210m in its controversial sale of a massive Northern Ireland property portfolio.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan has denied “directing” Nama to quickly sell-off its Project Eagle loans in a move which allegedly lost the State €220m, despite admitting to seeking and giving “advice” on the highly controversial deal.

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.

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.

“Those Northerners eh? You just couldn’t be up to them” — that seems to be, at least part of, the rationale presented as to why Nama decided to dispose of its Northern Ireland loan book when it did.

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’s decision to sell the Project Eagle loan book as a single bundle and at a reduced price cost the taxpayer at least £190m — the equivalent of €250m — due to a poorly judged and incorrect assessment of the property bundle’s real value.

Nama is expected to resist attempts to force the bad bank to appear in Belfast and answer questions about the sale of its entire Northern property portfolio.
