Banking Inquiry Chair Ciaran Lynch is downplaying the reports of unrest within the committee.

Speaking to Shane Coleman on The Sunday Show, Deputy Lynch said "it's a cross party committee: it has people who are part of political parties and people who come from none... There will always be different positions, but what we have done to date is work as a team.

"I've asked members to leave their club jerseys at the door, and I'll be sure when we hold a meeting that that position will be repeated," he added.
