Banking Inquiry looking for an extension

he original deadline for the publication of the inquiry's report was the 30th of November. 

However, a report into allegations of wrongdoing at the inquiry has pushed that date back.

The delay will have cost implications, adding significantly to the 5 million euro which has already been spent. 

Meanwhile, the Inquiry will continue today with evidence from Alan Ahearne, former Special Advisor to the late Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan T.D.
