Probe into IBRC may take eight years

Calls to overhaul how state inquiries are carried out have been made after it emerged it may take eight years to complete the IBRC probe.

Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy has called for major change to stop what she said is a “fragmented approach”.

She repeatedly raised the sale of Siteserv to businessman Denis O’Brien which lead to the establishment of the state commission of investigation that is also looking into 36 other company sales by IBRC between January 2009 and February 2013.
