State auditor examines sale of Nama’s Northern loan book

The controversial sale of Nama’s Northern Ireland loan book — known as Project Eagle — is under investigation by the State’s chief auditor, the C&AG.

While Nama has denied any wrongdoing on its part, the Government has resisted repeated calls to establish a commission of inquiry into Project Eagle, and is again set to do so when the matter comes before the Dáil this week.

Independents 4 Change, which consists of TDs Mick Wallace, Clare Daly, Thomas Pringle, Catherine Connolly, and Joan Collins, has tabled a private members’ motion calling for the transaction to be examined by a judge.
