Oireachtas members to query banking report

The multimillion-euro cross-party Oireachtas bank inquiry report is set to be published this afternoon, before its findings are immediately called into question by two of its own members.

The high-profile investigation into what caused the economic crash that forced Ireland into a near decade of austerity will be published at 3pm after being formally put before the Dáil by Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

The document is based on more than a year of lengthy public questioning of some of the key political, financial and banking officials in charge at the time of the economic crisis and more than 14,000 previously unseen documents.
