Ciarán Lynch, Patrick Honohan to discuss ECB role in banking inquiry

Banking inquiry chairman Ciarán Lynch will today meet Patrick Honohan, the governor of the Central Bank, for talks about how the European Central Bank’s role in the economic crisis can be investigated.

Any successful agreement in securing evidence from the ECB to the inquiry could then pave the way for the International Monetary Fund to also cooperate.

Contribution from both is seen as an important component in helping the inquiry understand what led to the financial and banking crisis.
