Public Accounts Committee

Northern Ireland Assembly Finance Committee: Discussion on NAMA Project Eagle Sale

10:00 am

Mr. Daithí McKay:

It is a proxy mechanism I suppose but I welcome the fact that what we are stating here today and the information we are bringing forward will, in all likelihood, be used to inform the Committee of Public Accounts' questions to NAMA. There is a cross over, of course, but our primary focus relates to issues, for example, concerning the Department of Finance and Personnel on which we have a degree of expertise. In terms of any attendance by NAMA at the Assembly, we would get a lot more out of that but at the same time, we would get a lot more out of co-operation with this committee than not.
