John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I have a question for Ms Feehily about an old case. I will not mention the name as I know you cannot comment on individual cases, but this one is well known. It was discussed in two committees of the Oireachtas and it was agreed that the person concerned should get a particular amount of money, approximately €600,000. I raised this with you previously. He only got €300,000. The Office of the Ombudsman was involved as well. That person later had issues with how it emerged that he only got €300,000. What course should that person take now in terms of trying to appeal it? A number of years have gone by and it has been before the Committee of Public Accounts and before the committee on finance twice. It is back on the agenda now. There is an issue about how the Revenue Commissioners describe the payment and how he describes it. There is an issue with how the Ombudsman said it was an agreement but the taxpayer says there was no agreement. There is still €300,000 outstanding. Is there somebody in the Revenue Commissioners to whom he can make an appeal, or do you consider this matter to have been dealt with? It is before the Oireachtas committees again.
