Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness to face PAC over the Nama Project Eagle controversy

The former Northern Ireland first minister Peter Robinson and current deputy first minister Martin McGuinness are set to be questioned over the Nama Project Eagle controversy.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said the two would be invited to attend as part of a wider investigation into allegations surrounding the multi-billion euro state property deal.

Speaking after a private meeting at which it was confirmed Finance Minister Michael Noonan will appear on October 6, PAC chair and Fianna Fáil TD Seán Fleming said other high- profile figures will also face questioning.
