Inquiry to be denied key Anglo documents

KEY documentation from the night the Government decided to include Anglo Irish Bank in its guarantee scheme will not be released to the banking inquiry.

The Government has insisted that such documentation is sensitive and beyond the scope of the inquiry, and therefore will not be released.

The guarantee put in place in September 2008 covered all the deposits and liabilities in six financial institutions – AIB, Bank of Ireland, Irish Life and Permanent, Irish Nationwide, EBS and Anglo.
