DUBLIN: DUP leader Peter Robinson believes there was “no conflict of interest” in ex-Nama Northern Ireland adviser Frank Cushnahan being involved in a meeting in 2013 with a potential buyer of its Northern loans portfolio while he was associated with the agency.
Mr Robinson, who has temporarily stood aside as First Minister as a result of the current political deadlock in the North, told the Stormont inquiry investigating the sale of Nama’s Northern loans portfolio, dubbed Project Eagle, that there was no conflict of interest based on the earlier assertion by the chairman of Nama, Frank Daly, that “no confidential information” was made available to the Northern Ireland advisory committee.
