Kelleher warns of bank inquiry bias

A Government TD has warned of the “danger” of bias ahead of the banking inquiry but stressed the need for an investigation after the “economic mismanagement” of Fianna Fáil.

However, the Government was last night warned that the proposed banking inquiry would see witnesses and those investigated queuing up outside the High Court in a bid to protect their reputations.

Standing orders for the new Oireachtas inquiries system were agreed by the Dáil last night following a debate about the guidelines for setting up investigations.
