Two inspectors investigating certain matters at INM are still gathering information, have made no findings, and the bid by former INM chairman Leslie Buckley to have them withdrawn is “deeply flawed”, the High Court has been told.

The inspectors reject Mr Buckley's claims of objective bias in their investigation or that they have a mindset unfavourable to him, Cian Ferriter SC said.
