‘Growing consensus’ for Nama probe

Political parties have agreed the need for a statutory inquiry to be set up into Nama and Project Eagle but disagree on whether other deals should be probed.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny met opposition TDs yesterday after which it was agreed proposed terms on an inquiry or commission of investigation would be submitted by the end of next week.

A spokesman for Mr Kenny said there had been a growing consensus among all present on the need for an inquiry, following a critical report by the State’s financial watchdog this week.
