End political posturing on banks inquiry

THERE is no doubt people want to know the facts about what happened the banking system. They want to know where it all went wrong, who was responsible and how can we prevent a recurrence.

Politicians have a duty to act responsibly and in the best interests of the public. They should put that before political opportunism.

Yet we have Enda Kenny and Eamon Gilmore who are determined to extract maximum political advantage from grandstanding on the details of how the investigation will be conducted.
