FINE GAEL is seeking a major reduction in the size of NAMA in order to “protect the Irish taxpayer” and prevent the creation of a huge monopoly.

GEORGE Lee’s resignation is an act of disloyalty to the 27,000 people who voted for him and to the hundreds of people who canvassed for him.

A DESPERATE last-ditch bid to scupper NAMA has been launched by Fine Gael, it emerged last night.

Fine Gael has accused the Taoiseach of ignoring key issues during an attack on lawyers for the Mahon Tribunal.

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern was urged by opposition parties to “come clean” last night on whether he has given standards watchdogs proof of his tax status.
