Public Accounts Committee

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

12:30 pm

Mr. Martin McGuinness:

That is a question that needs to be answered during the course of what is now a criminal investigation. From my perspective in the North, I knew absolutely nothing about anything to do with success fees, Brown Rudnick, Mr. Ian Coulter or Mr. Frank Cushnahan. PIMCO, in its letter to this committee, mentioned the sum of something like £16 million that was demanded of it. I knew nothing about that at all. I was not told anything about that at all. I was not told anything about it by Mr. Peter Robinson, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, or anybody representing NAMA.
