The first module of the commission of investigation into certain transactions at the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, most prominently the sale of utility company Siteserv to businessman Denis O’Brien, has had its deadline extended by three months until the end of September.

Previously Justice Brian Cregan, the High Court judge presiding over the investigation, last February requested an extension of the inquiry, which has been running since 2015, until the end of the year, but had that request denied.
