I believe the Tánaiste agrees that all these matters raise concerns of the most basic nature for the State and the operation and governance of IBRC. At this stage, it is causing considerable public disquiet.

People want to know what was going on with Siteserv specifically, but more broadly with the operation of IBRC. We want to know what these big problematic transactions were, their value, the cost to the taxpayer and the people involved, namely, the bidders and the successful bidders. People want to know why a civil servant or civil servants were ignored, why their advice was set aside or, astonishingly, overridden by a simple assurance given by Alan Dukes. People want to hear from the Tánaiste not some clever formula of words to kick the can down the road; we want to hear this morning that she will commit to a commission of inquiry.
