Parliamentary banking inquiry work to begin soon

The setting up of a parliamentary banking inquiry is gathering pace, with Oireachtas sources suggesting that its work will begin before the Dáil summer recess.

The Irish Examiner has seen details of a meeting of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission where officials discussed the resourcing and staff needed for the promised probe.

The body, which runs Leinster House, has agreed to assign 48 staff to the committee of inquiry.
