The Taoiseach is being accused of blocking a major 9-11 style inquiry into the banking system because "it'll expose the close links to Fianna Fáil".

Yesterday, the new Governor of the Central Bank called for a full probe into the financial crisis here.

In the Dáil this morning, Labour leader Eamon Gilmore accused Brian Cowen of blocking any inquiry in case it lands the blame on him when he was Minister for Finance - an allegation to Taoiseach denied.
