Committee to question key finance officials

THE Dáil Public Accounts Committee will meet with Department of Finance officials next week to discuss the revelations in the documentation.

The committee, which monitors public spending, had been seeking the documentation for weeks as it attempted to inquire into the banking sector collapse. After getting the documentation, the committee met in private session on Thursday to discuss it and take legal advice.

It then decided to publish the documentation in the interests of transparency, according to committee chairman and Fine Gael TD Bernard Allen.
