The US capital management company, Cerberus, that purchased NAMA's Northern Ireland portfolio of properties has issued a statement saying it received assurances from legal firms involved in the deal that conditions set down by NAMA had been honoured.
Before the agreement was concluded NAMA had sought confirmation that no fee, commission or payment was payable to any current or former board member of NAMA, or any former member of an advisory committee of NAMA.
The question of whether proposed payments to fixers were involved in the deal is expected to be central to the hearings planned by the Public Accounts Committee and Stormont's Finance Committee.
Last week Independent TD Mick Wallace claimed in the Dáil that over £7m had been discovered in an Isle of Man bank account and it was reportedly earmarked for a Northern Ireland politician.
A Belfast law firm, Tughans, subsequently said the money was fees due to the company but it had been diverted to the Isle of Man by a former partner, who is no longer a member of the company.
