Mr. Peter Nyberg was appointed as the sole Member of the Commission of Investigation (Banking Sector). His Final Report was completed and submitted to the Minister for Finance on March 22nd 2011. In accordance with the terms of Section 44(3) of the Commissions of Investigation Act, 2004, the Commission was dissolved on that date.
As Minister for Finance, I published the Commission of Investigation's (Banking Sector) Report on 19th April 2011. The report is titled "Misjudging Risk: Causes of the Systemic Banking Crisis in Ireland - Report of the Commission of Investigation into the Banking Sector in Ireland."
