Public Accounts Committee

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

10:00 am

Mr. Brian McEnery:

I want to try to explain to the Deputy. In 2012, there was nobody interested in this portfolio. In 2013, it emerged that there was somebody interested, and I believe it would have been wrong of us not to engage when there was interest in the bulk acquisition of the portfolio.
