SUSAN Thompson sets out five questions which Peter Robinson needs to answer in relation to the sale of the Nama portfolio to Cerberus.

  1. How many times did Peter Robinson or any of his party speak directly to Dan Quayle or other representatives of Cerberus in an official or unofficial capacity in relation to Nama assets?
  2. Did Mr Robinson ever ask Frank Cushnahan to offer advice and/or support to Gareth Robinson in relation to his son's business Verbatim.
  3. Why was Martin McGuinness not invited or informed of the meeting at Stormont Castle on March 25, 2014 and in what capacity was Ian Coulter, the then managing partner at Tughans, at the meeting?
  4. At whose suggestion did DUP ministers seek a memorandum of understanding with bidders that focused on releasing developers' personal guarantees when the party was initially vocal in its opposition to a large Nama sale of the Northern Ireland loan book?
  5. Which property developers did the First Minister talk to personally about the Nama sale in an official or unofficial capacity?
