Public Accounts Committee
Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Frank Daly:
I am not going to get into a debate between the former First Minister and the current deputy First Minister. I would make the point that on two occasions, I asked whether the deputy First Minister was being kept in the loop and on both occasions, the then Northern Ireland Minister of Finance and Personnel - it was Simon Hamilton at the time - confirmed that he was. This is in the minutes, or the notes of the meetings I had on some occasions with the Minister of Finance and Personnel. We were keen that there would be no misunderstanding of what NAMA was at.
