Enda Kenny under pressure to act on IBRC probe

The Government will today come under pressure to get the Department of Finance to waive its rights and concerns over banking documents so the IBRC inquiry can continue its work.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said he wants to consider opposition leaders’ opinions on how to overcome legal obstacles about the commission of investigation continuing its work.

Inquiry chairman Judge Brian Cregan has met government officials, including from the attorney general’s office, after reporting that the probe could take several years more and cost significant amounts.
