Martin McGuinness‘ was not kept in the dark’ over €1.6bn Nama sale

Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister Martin McGuinness was not “kept in the dark” over the highly controversial £1.2bn (€1.6bn) sale of Nama’s largest ever property portfolio, new Department of Finance records show.

More than 40 Department of Finance files released late last night before a Dáil public accounts committee meeting this morning confirm that Mr McGuinness and then first minister Peter Robinson were fully aware of the Project Eagle move in January 2014.

The issue contradicts Mr McGuinness’s Stormont inquiry claims last week that he was “kept in the dark”.
