Ms Feehily would have been aware of media commentary over the past month or so since the dossier came into the possession of members of this committee. Therefore, she would have been aware of concerns, that it referred to matters pertaining to Ansbacher and that it pertained to an investigation of those matters. Did it not occur to her or anyone else in Revenue to make contact with the Department or with some body to seek clarification or seek the dossier itself? The authorised officer is still a serving civil servant. Did it not occur to anybody in Revenue to make contact with him directly?
