The inquiry has been told that any discussion of the so-called 'Anglo Tapes' are off-limits. Chairman Ciaran Lynch cut off Fine Gael senator Michael D'Arcy when he tried to raise the tapes, saying any discussion could have a detrimental impact on possible criminal trials.
They will also be asked to explain the oversight of the prevailing risk culture, appropriateness of the bank guarantee and whether alternatives were examined.
While former ILP and Permanent TSB group CEO David Went will be asked about a range of issues, including the nature and appropriateness of relationships between Government, the Oireachtas, the banking sector and the property sector.
