Banking inquiry to meet during whistleblower investigation

The Inquiry will continue its work while the independent investigation is carried out.

The Banking Inquiry is meeting this morning, hours after the Houses of the Oireachtas Service announced the appointment of Senior Counsel Senan Hogan to investigate whistleblower allegations.

In a lengthy document, it was claimed that some bodies giving evidence received undue preferential treatment, and that the inquiry is being hampered by unnecessary redactions to some of its documents.
