Investigations by Revenue into Authorised Officers Report

12:20 pm

Ms Josephine Feehily:

All I can repeat is that everything we received from the officer was examined and followed through wherever it took us. Having engaged on it in relation to his 2011 dossier, I can confirm on a personal level that the officers in question assured me there was nothing new in that dossier because I was there. I have had the same assurance from officers in relation to earlier dossiers. Just to repeat for the Deputy, as she obviously has a particular list in mind but I am not commenting on any subset of any lists or any anything and need to be very careful in my response, I assure her that there was no question of ignoring any material or any information. It is not in our nature.

If there had been something new in the line of new cases, we would have pursued them.
