The letter was cc'd to Brian Lenihan. It is highly suspicious. That was the only item of correspondence between the bank and the Department of Finance during this period. There are major questions about the tax adviser, who I do not claim did anything wrong. He was a tax adviser to the former Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, in respect of the whiparound in Manchester. This is a sensitive letter about the taking over of the bank by a global outside agency, yet no correspondence exists in the Bank of Ireland or the Department of Finance. Is it not suspicious that the correspondence has disappeared from both the Department and the bank?
