A Tipperary woman – being sued by NAMA over her late husband's debts – is due to address the Public Accounts Committee today.
The National Assets Managment agency is taking the legal action against Annette de Vere Hunt along with her son Robert over an estimated €30 million in outstanding liabilities.
64 year old Philip de Vere Hunt of Ardmayle Cashel took his own life in 2012 after one of the bad bank’s companies took a case against him and his business partner over a €30million AIB loan to develop a shopping centre in Clonmel, Co Tipperary.
The subsequent inquest into the developer's death heard his dealings with NAMA “brought him to the end of his tether”.
Around the second anniversary of his death, the agency launched High Court proceedings against Philip De Vere Hunt's widow Annette and son Robert which could see them lose the family farm where Philip’s ashes are scattered.
She then wrote to the Public Accounts Committee seeking to give testimony as to how Nama dealt with her husband.
Agreeing to meet with her in private session today – Committee chairman John McGuinness it as shocking that an arm of the state would treat a family or individual like this.
