Pearse Doherty: Banking Inquiry report 'has failed to tell clear picture of what happened'

The Banking Inquiry Committee have agreed on a draft report.

It will now be checked by a legal expert before being forwarded to interested parties.

The draft report contains 11 chapters and a chairman's summary, outlining some of the key findings and background to the crisis.

Committee Chairman Ciaran Lynch thanked all members for their contributions, including Deputies Joe Higgins and Pearse Doherty, who refused to sign off on the report.

Mr Doherty said he had been pushing for a much stronger report.

He said: "That has failed and it has failed for a number of reasons, one of them being that we ran out of time to shape the report into a more robust report that would tell a clear picture of what happened and who was responsible."
