Noonan sparks fury in Siteserv debacle

The fallout from the Siteserv controversy turned increasingly bitter as an angry Alan Dukes moved to dismiss claims of a conspiracy.

The former chairman of IBRC said he was “scandalised” that Finance Minister Michael Noonan had primed the probe into the bank’s major loss-making deals to look for evidence of criminality and malpractice.

Venting his fury at Mr Noonan, the former Fine Gael leader held a press conference in a Dublin solicitor’s office to attack any suggestion of law-breaking as “outrageous”.
