The Taoiseach's defended the decision to ask IBRC's liquidators to lead a review into the sale of SiteServ.

Enda Kenny says the liquidators can produce a review quicker than anyone else, because they're already have most of the details to hand.

Opposition TDs are still rejecting the plan, arguing that the liquidators are not operating at an arm's-length basis - and also raising concerns that the liquidators' firm, KPMG, was involved in the sale.

Meanwhile Denis O'Brien and the man who oversaw the sale have both defended their roles, and are offering to appear before the Public Accounts Committee to address any concerns people may have.

He added, however, that the committee could look into the concerns raised in the latest release of Freedom of Information documents, where Michael Noonan and other officials were uneasy about accepting IBRC's accounts of various events.
