Probe into IBRC deals ‘must be speeded up’

The investigation into controversial IBRC deals needs to be conducted faster and expanded, opposition TDs have warned.

Renua leader and former Fine Gael Minister Lucinda Creighton said the Government just wanted the affair to go away and had set in train a situation that amounted to “naked political opportunism.”

Fianna Fáil also criticised the terms of reference for the proposed probe, saying the role of the Finance Department also needed to be looked at.
