As Ms. Ní Raghallaigh said, it appears that this was an act designed to deceive or, at the very best, to conceal. It should have been presented to that committee. Regarding the payments that came through this clandestine and labyrinthine method of invoices and the divil and all, there is the issue of tax compliance. These have moved between jurisdictions and we have been told there is no VAT liability because they emanated from the UK. They are part of a payment in lieu of salary or as a top-up to salary. Are we satisfied that the tax liabilities have been covered off? In the end of year reporting in terms of tax liabilities, were the transactions undertaken by the barter account - this one is the largest and most notable - adequately captured when preparing and submitting tax returns at end of year?
