Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

David Cullinane: What was the response?

David Cullinane: It does not give any date.

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

David Cullinane: If no date was given, why was the follow-up question not asked? Ms O'Reilly has not given us a date. We have asked a very specific question. We want to know the date because Mr. Cushnahan was a member of the Northern Ireland advisory committee and we want to be very clear that there was no association when he was a member. NAMA asked for the date and did not get it. Surely it would go...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

David Cullinane: I am putting myself in the shoes of the NAMA board. I am a NAMA board member. I am made aware of a success fee arrangement that involves a member of the Northern Ireland advisory committee. I do not know when that relationship started. I would try to get that information. Mr. Stewart says NAMA tried to get the information and did not get it. At no point was that ever established, which...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

David Cullinane: -----I asked him whether Cerberus was made aware by NAMA that PIMCO had a success fee arrangement with Mr. Cushnahan who had been a member of the Northern Ireland advisory committee, Brown Rudnick and Tughans and he said "No". I asked him whether that information would have been useful to Cerberus and he said of course it would have been. Of course it would have been useful information for...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (24 Nov 2016)

David Cullinane: This goes back to Mr. Patrick Long from Lazard who said when he said one cannot disentangle Mr. Cushnahan from Brown Rudnick and Tughans. It also goes back to what the Comptroller and Auditor General said in his final finding. He said that NAMA was concerned about being legally OK but was not concerned with actually drilling down into it and making sure that Cerberus had access to the full...
