Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Approximately ten tribunals have been established in recent years. Recommendations by any of them are fully dealt with. The matters of tax shelters and reliefs and tax avoidance and evasion are constantly under review by the Department of Finance and the Revenue Commissioners.

I understand it is the intention of Mr. Justice Moriarty to finish as quickly as he possibly can, subject to the procedures he is required to follow in his final report. The matter of third party fees will then be dealt with. I understand Mr. Justice Moriarty and his staff are anxious to finish their work in a matter of months.
