Taoiseach rejects call for inquiry into Nama's Northern loan book

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has rejected opposition calls for a commission of inquiry into the sale of Nama’s Northern loan book following the arrests of two men in a fraud probe linked to the sale.

Speaking during leaders’ questions, Mr Kenny said there are absolutely no allegations Nama did anything wrong in the near €1.5bn portfolio sale in 2014.

However, the Project Eagle sale has been dogged by controversy and is the subject of investigations in several jurisdictions, although no investigation is under way in the Republic.
