The Deputy will be aware that my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, indicated that he supported the objective of holding a legally robust, parliamentary banking inquiry when he announced last month the publication of his Department’s ‘Houses of the Oireachtas (Inquiries, Privileges and Procedures) Bill 2013’. While I understand the primary purpose of this Bill is to create a legislative framework for Oireachtas inquiries generally, it would be of direct practical assistance in facilitating a banking inquiry in accordance with a decision of the Houses of the Oireachtas in this regard. As this is a matter for the Houses of the Oireachtas themselves to determine however, it is not within my remit to take the action requested by the Deputy.
