I am thinking about the effectiveness of the protected disclosures legislation. Clearly there are differences in interpretations and the measures put in place. Have the Revenue Commissioners been asked to consider benefit-in-kind implications of the matters in the report?

We were talking about the Garda. I made a formal request that they be invited in to consider these matters and was told it would be taken on advisement. I look forward to following how that matter will be responded to. For me, it is not a case of advisement but a case of law or not law. The relevant legislation is section 19 of the Criminal Justice Act 2011. In the interest of the integrity of the college, it would serve the college very well by bringing in its representatives, if for nothing else than to clear its good name. If there are outstanding issues then we can deal with them using the full rigours of the law to cleanse any issues that there may be.

On the Revenue question, has Revenue been asked about the potential benefit-in-kind implications of the issues that have arisen?
