McGuinness To Appear Before Public Accounts Committee

Northern Ireland's deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness is to give evidence to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Wednesday, 16 November.

PAC is examining the £1billion sale of National Asset Management Agency's (NAMA) northern loan book.

NAMA was established in 2009 as one of a number of initiatives taken by the Government to address the serious crisis in Irish banking.

Project Eagle is the name given to the portfolio that NAMA sold in April 2014 to US firm Cerberus.
