Mick Wallace discusses Nama official bribe claim with gardaí

A claim that a Nama official asked and received a €15,000 bribe have been discussed by gardaí and Independent TD Mick Wallace.

The Wexford TD made the accusations in the Dáil last week and Nama asked gardaí to intervene, as the claims were casting a “dark shadow” over the agency’s officers.

Garda sources confirmed yesterday that Mr Wallace had provided a statement last Friday regarding his claims about Nama. It is understood he was interviewed for about an hour-and-a-half, after earlier in the week indicating he would be willing to talk to gardaí about information he had received from a source.
