Suggestions from Opposition parties on how to proceed with the Commission of Investigation into IBRC will be brought to Cabinet by Taoiseach Enda Kenny next Tuesday, the Dáil has heard.
Opposition parties have until tomorrow to respond to the Taoiseach in writing with their views on how the commission can proceed.
The commission has said it "is unable to proceed with its investigation".
It said that KPMG, the special liquidators of the bank, have claimed legal privilege over relevant documentation.
The commission, headed up by Judge Brian Cregan, said this matter can only be resolved by "legislative change or by a waiver of the privilege by the special liquidators".
During Order of Business, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams asked the Taoiseach about the promised emergency legislation "to deal with the mess".
He asked if it could be published before Christmas.
He pointed out how the interim report from Judge Cregan points to a litany of mistakes, bad legal advice, incompetence, and while the legal advice from the attorney general is clearly questionable, ultimately the responsibility for this shambles rests with the Cabinet and the Taoiseach particularly.
He asked when will the emergency legislation be published.
The Taoiseach said: "In regard to the IBRC, I have sent the interim report of Justice Cregan to everybody and I have asked that the Opposition parties will respond in writing by tomorrow with their party views on the judge's pointing difficulties and challenges that he sees."
"And I will expect to come to Government with a response taking into account all of the parties views next Tuesday," he added.
