Public Accounts Committee

National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2014

9:30 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

We were never concerned with Tughans. Let us be clear about that. Tughans is the third biggest law firm in Northern Ireland. There are other law firms in Northern Ireland as well, but they were a reputable law firm in Northern Ireland. We had no concern about Brown Rudnick. It is a very strong international law firm. What we were always concerned about was the involvement of Mr. Cushnahan.
