Public Accounts Committee chairman hits out at bank inquiry delay

The Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee has hit out at the Government for delaying the implementation of inquiry into the banking crisis.

Fine Gael TD Bernard Allen says the Environment Minister John Gormley is speaking out two sides of its own mouth on the issue after he indicated yesterday that an investigation could be in place within six months.

Deputy Allen says this is contrary to Fianna Fáil's feelings on the matter.
