Catherine Murphy wants emergency legislation for IBRC inquiry

The TD whose concerns led to the IBRC inquiry has called for emergency legislation to get the inquiry back on track.

Catherine Murphy has said only the 12 biggest transactions at IBRC should be investigated first, as they represent losses to the taxpayer of €1.3bn.

Today marks the deadline for opposition parties to write back to Enda Kenny outlining their ideas for how to help the Cregan Commission overcome its legal problems.

Deputy Murphy has said the government should publish its own legal advice and not blame the opposition for the problems it is facing: “The Taoiseach should not be engaging in the blame game, if they are serious about this as they say they are.

“Let us see the seriousness in the response, by way of the legislation before Christmas.”
