Lenihan: Up to NAMA to make false data complaint

FINANCE Minister Brian Lenihan believes it’s up to NAMA whether or not the agency makes an official complaint to the authorities following claims it had been given false information by banks.

Financial Regulator Mathew Elderfield believes the agency has information which “substantiates a claim that NAMA was provided with false and misleading information by the banks”.

His office has been in contact by both telephone and letter to NAMA chief executive Brendan McDonagh about the claims.
