Banking Inquiry's final report may be delayed by internal review

The Banking Inquiry's final report may be delayed because of an internal investigation into its own operations.

The final report was due to be issued in November but may be pushed back, depending on the findings of an internal review by a senior council.

Senan Allen is looking into claims from a staff whistleblower that inquiry staff gave undue preference to some state bodies, when they gave evidence.

The Committee will continue its hearings today, with former ministers Mary Harney (pictured) and John Gormley among those giving evidence.
