Nama officials warn PAC chair of ‘dossier’

The Dáil public accounts committee chair has claimed Nama officials warned him they had a “dossier” on his previous comments about the group at the same time they issued a clear legal threat over the findings of the PAC’s Project Eagle report.

Fianna Fáil TD Sean Fleming revealed the situation — denied by Nama last night — during a heated exchange over separate legal threats from Finance Minister Michael Noonan amid unprecedented claims the committee is at risk of being “politicised”.

Just hours after Mr Fleming told the Dáil on Wednesday night that Finance Minister Michael Noonan threatened to injunct the PAC due to its report’s findings against him, the PAC chair said he was not the only person who pressured the committee.
