Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It is difficult to actually catch the people involved. Very often they are outside the jurisdiction. Moneys can be caught. In several situations, banks have noted large transfers, perhaps transfers of round sums that look a little bit out of pattern. In fact, I think that is what happened in the Trinity College case. A bank in Scotland identified movements that seemed odd.
