Public Accounts Committee

Revenue Commissioners Investigation of HSBC Offshore Accounts

10:00 am

Mr. Niall Cody:

No, the advertisement was different and not from HSBC. It was not from an Irish entity but from a Swiss bank offering offshore accounts to Irish customers. I have no doubt that it was aimed at attracting money from people in whom we would have been interested and who would have had money elsewhere.
