Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (29 Sep 2016)

Catherine Connolly: I will come to that shortly. The opening statement from Mr. Brendan McDonagh today puts it in a nutshell.

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (29 Sep 2016)

Catherine Connolly: I understand that. We will get an opportunity to return to the detail. Second, NAMA states repeatedly that the Comptroller and Auditor General sought external advice because he recognised that he did not have the expertise for this project.
