Joan Burton's comments come after the Commission of Investigation chairman wrote to the Taoiseach saying he couldn't proceed because of issues surrounding confidentiality and legal privilege. 

Judge Brian Cregan had been asked to look at 37 transactions where there was a write-down of more than 10 million euro – the sale of Siteserv to Denis O'Brien is among them. 

The Government may introduce emergency legislation this week to try and address the issue – the Tánaiste says the public wants answers and we must get them.
