Commissioner expects decision on charging Anglo bankers by year-end

GARDA Commissioner Fachtna Murphy said yesterday he expected decisions will be made before the end of the year on whether bankers will be charged in the huge criminal investigation into Anglo Irish Bank.

Commissioner Murphy, speaking at the graduation of 109 gardaí at Templemore College, said the force had all the necessary legal and accountancy skills and supports to deal with the investigation.

This week, he said, he has had two meetings with the DPP with whom they are working closely.
