TDs angry at Nama action against widow whose husband took his own life

Moves by Nama to press legal action against a widow whose husband took his own life have been roundly condemned by TDs.

John McGuinness, chairman of the Dáil’s powerful Public Accounts Committee (PAC), expressed his concern that the State agency served legal papers “late at night” on Annette De Vere Hunt, despite indications that it would seek mediation in the dispute with her.

Mr McGuinness said the move was “unacceptable” and looked like a case in which the State was “at war with a citizen”.
