Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)

11:00 am

Ms Ann Nolan:

I have already said that I have an issue with the underlying assumption that the alternative was to work these assets out to 2020 and sell everything then. That was not an option, given the pressure we were under at the time to reduce NAMA’s liabilities. That does not say that this particular sale was right or wrong. That is just a general policy question.
