Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

IFSRA has already made details public. I presume it intends to follow such a policy. Since the DIRT inquiry Revenue has been making many more details public. It now has the power to put into the public domain information regarding cases and settlements. There is not now a veil of secrecy as there was in the past. I have mentioned that substantial penalties can be imposed on corporate companies and individuals. I am sure this will be done in respect of all these cases.

Regarding the Deputy's first question as to how people at the top in these institutions could be involved without knowing anything about it, I do not understand that and I find it hard to believe it.
