Nama made an 'eejit' out of deal-brokers in Northern Ireland property loans sale, committee told

Nama made an "eejit" out of internationally renowned deal-brokers involved in the controversial £1.2bn sale of its Northern Ireland property loans, a parliamentary committee has been told.

Patrick Long, a managing director at financial advisers Lazard, led an outside team asked by the Republic's toxic assets agency to manage the sale of its so-called Project Eagle portfolio, bought by US investors Cerberus in April 2014.
