Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Dr. Shawna Coxon:

To clarify, we are still in discussion with Revenue so this matter has not been concluded. It is therefore difficult to give complete detail. I say that because approximately half of what was paid is being disputed. We have made a voluntary disclosure and are working with Revenue. Revenue looked beyond the original issue at a number of different pieces in the organisation and, based on an extensive consultation, we came to this figure, but the figure is not complete. It has been paid. That is how these things work. It is paid in advance to stop accruing interest. From that point, we continue to work with Revenue to see whether it will wind up being the final amount.
