Chairman Ciarán Lynch rules out ‘minority report’ into banking inquiry

The chairman of the banking inquiry has ruled out any so-called ‘minority’ report being part of the probe, as members scramble to bring the investigation back from the brink of collapse.

The inquiry will meet tomorrow to consider a fresh draft of its report, after crisis weekend meetings and attempts to keep disgruntled members on board.

Chairman Ciarán Lynch insisted last night that there would be no ‘minority’ report or personal conclusions to accompany the inquiry’s final recommendations. He insisted the inquiry would remain on track to produce its conclusions and report in January.
