‘Agency insider worked to secure deal for US firm’

Independent TD Mick Wallace has claimed in the Dáil that an “insider” at Nama worked with US capital firm Cerebus to secure a lucrative property deal.

The Wexford TD also accused Enda Kenny of being involved in a “cover-up” because he refused to order a top-level probe into goings-on at Nama.

Mr Wallace has repeatedly demanded the Taoiseach sets-up an independent commission of inquiry into the agency’s sale of its Northern assets for €1.2bn.
