Nama challenges Mick Wallace to give gardaí evidence

Nama has written to Independents4Change TD Mick Wallace to hit out at his “unsubstantiated allegations” and tell him failure to hand over evidence to gardaí could be a criminal offence.

The State property firm’s head of legal, Aideen O Reilly, wrote to Mr Wallace yesterday, 24 hours after the Wexford TD claimed under Dáil privilege that a former Nama advisor was “peddling” information to companies in Asia.

Speaking during Leaders’ Questions on Thursday, Mr Wallace claimed to be in possession of more than 100 e-mails allegedly showing that former Northern Ireland Nama advisory committee member Frank Cushnahan was “peddling” information in other parts of the world.
