The members of the Banking Inquiry are meeting today to discuss evidence from former Anglo boss David Drumm.

The DPP yesterday advised the Inquiry not to speak to Mr Drumm by video link.

David Drumm has sent the Banking Inquiry a written statement, and offered to give his evidence tomorrow by video link from the United States where he now lives.

However, senior counsel for the inquiry and the Director of Public Prosecutions have recommended not taking evidence in this way.

The Inquiry committee is meeting in private this afternoon, where it is expected to agree not to proceed with the video link - and will discuss what to do with Mr Drumm's written statement.
