It is only in recent weeks that the commission of investigation into IBRC has actually started its preliminary work. There was a change in the personnel who would conduct the inquiry. When it was announced, an interim report was expected in December. Does the Taoiseach still expect to receive an interim report in December?

As the Deputy is aware, I cannot comment on the work of the sole member who will make his own arrangements, in which I cannot interfere in any way. Generally, there may be a request for either resources or extra time, but it is beyond my remit to interfere in any way once the sole member has been appointed to conduct the investigation.
