PAC urges Noonan to answer on Nama

The Dáil’s money watchdog has called Finance Minister Michael Noonan to give evidence to it regarding the highly controversial €1.6bn sale of Nama’s Northern property empire.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has also asked whistleblower blogger Jamie Byrson to provide them with a written submission after he made a series of explosive claims concerning the sale of the Project Eagle loan book.

The PAC also decided in a closed session to ask Sinn Féin’s Martin McGuinness to outline in written form why he had asked to appear before them.
