Public Accounts Committee to question loan sales advisor to NAMA

The Public Accounts Committee will hear evidence today from another key player in NAMA's controversial Project Eagle.

Patrick Long, a Managing Director in Lazard's Financial Advisory business, will give evidence before the committee this morning.

Lazard acted as a loan sales advisor to NAMA.

The PAC is investigating claims from the Comptroller and Auditor General that NAMA's northern loan book could have fetched around €200m more than the actual sale price.

Issues around Project Eagle are also being investigated by agencies in the US and the UK.
