I propose to leave the account open for the moment until we get further information we must collect in this regard. We will have to ask the Department for some information, which was outlined earlier. We will send a transcript to Mr. Ryan because his name has been mentioned and under the Houses of the Oireachtas (Inquiries, Privileges and Procedures) Act 2013, he is entitled to that and also if he wishes to make a comment on it. In respect of the cases sent to the Garda, I propose that we send a transcript to the Garda Commissioner to determine the up-to-date position. I will ask the clerk to review the transcript in respect of anyone else who has been mentioned or to ensure that we have any information that was asked for but which Ms Feehily was not in a position to give us this morning for consideration again. I thank Ms Feehily and her officials for coming here. She is retiring from Revenue and moving on to the Garda authority. She has not yet been appointed but it has been mentioned in the media so it must be true. I wish her well. I understand that Mr. O'Shaughnessy may also be retiring and I wish him well and thank him for his co-operation with the committee during the various hearings.
