IBRC investigation costs and oversight

Summary

John Deasy seeks wider consultation and limits on the duration and cost of the proposed IBRC investigation, citing possible expenditure of €3 million by 2016 and an eight-year timeframe. The Taoiseach says Members should be informed and their views sought.

The Taoiseach said earlier with regard to legislation and proposals on IBRC that Opposition Members wiould be allowed give their input into how they feel this should be constructed. Other Members should be given that opportunity also. It has been dealt with by the Committee of Public Accounts. We have found out since last week that €3 million has been asked for by the end of 2016. If the Taoiseach is correct in saying it could take to eight years, that is too much money in some people's opinion and there should be a time limit as well as a spending limit put on this.

Every Member should be informed of the assessment of the difficulties as outlined by the judge in so far as the Oireachtas can deal with this and I would like to have the views of as many people as possible.
