Kenny considers expanding role of public interest directors

The Taoiseach says he is considering expanding the role of the public interest directors in Irish banks after revelations about the lavish pension payments to ex-bankers.

The government says it cannot unpick the contracts of former bankers who are collecting pensions of half a million euro.

However the Taoiseach says he is considering expanding the role of the public interest directors on the banks.

He was responding to questions from independent TD Shane Ross who urged Mr Kenny to instruct the bank directors to ensure there are no more fat-cat pensions in future.
