NAMA holds pubs where Celtic Tiger was born

SOME of the property spoils in the legal battle that threatened to derail the entire NAMA project proved to be the very watering holes where such business was usually discussed.

The pubs lie in the shadow of the Dublin Law Library and had been marked for development until the property bubble burst. Now they are under taxpayers’ control.

The well-known pubs are The Legal Eagle and the Chancery Inn and have appeared on the latest list of properties subject to enforcement actions published by NAMA.
