Lenihan family want to address inquiry

Former Government minister Mary O’Rourke has voiced concerns about the banking inquiry making any allegations against her nephew, the late Brian Lenihan.

Ms O’Rourke said the inquiry attempting to examine the banking crash without Mr Lenihan, the former finance minister, was like “Hamlet” without the Prince.

Her comments come after she and Mr Lenihan’s brother, former junior minister Conor Lenihan, both submitted a letter with their concerns to the banking inquiry last week.
