Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Banking and Financial Regulation: Discussion with Mr. Jonathan Sugarman

10:00 am

Mr. Jonathan Sugarman:

At the time I was living in Rathgar. I went to the Garda station that is next to a petrol station and a Tesco store, between Rathgar and Ranelagh. Members may be familiar with that Garda station which is on a corner. I walked into the station in broad daylight, referred to Irish regulations and told gardaí that I had broken the law and when I had broken it. Hopefully there is still a record in that Garda station of that complaint. My complaint was that I was a criminal and was there to tell gardaí about a crime. The garda with whom I dealt was frightfully helpful. She said, "Leave it with me and we will get back to you on this". A few weeks later I received a call informing me that my complaint had been forwarded to the Garda fraud squad. I was told that the fraud squad had a section or a person dealing with financial fraud or finance criminality. Never again did I hear from anybody.
