JUDGE Gerard Buchanan could not give a provisional timetable for his report to the Dail's Committee on Procedure and Privilege, naming recipients of donations from Mr Ben Dunne and Dunnes Stores, writes Geraldine Kennedy. He said last night he would not be in a position to write to the politicians named in the Price Waterhouse report before the Dail rose for the Christmas recess on Thursday.

It would be "well into January" before named politicians would be able to explain any payments made.
