The Banking Inquiry's agreed to make some minor changes to its final report.

However it's decided NOT to make changes sought by two developers - which could lead the inquiry to potentially miss its final deadline.

It met this afternoon to consider requests from developer Johnny Ronan, who wants the inquiry to remove certain findings relating to NAMA, whose evidence he disputes.

Another developer, Michael O'Flynn, wanted the inquiry to remove its comments about his political donations.

This afternoon the inquiry heard legal advice which suggested a number of small changes to address those issues - but members decided NOT to make the changes the developers had sought.

In a statement it says it still plans to issue its report by January 27 - but the decision does mean the inquiry could now face a legal challenge from either developer.

They have 14 days in which to begin any court action if they consider it necessary.

If this action takes long enough, or if the action begins towards the end of the 14-day window, the delay could force the inquiry beyond its deadline of Thursday 28 January, two weeks from today.

That deadline can only be extended if both the Dáil and Seanad agree - but even then, the report can only be officially published if both the Dáil and Seanad are sitting at the time.

The next scheduled sitting day after January 28 is on Tuesday the 2nd of February - the day on which the Taoiseach is expected to dissolve the Dail, meaning a motion to publish the Banking Inquiry report on the same day is unlikely.
