I would appreciate it if the Taoiseach would do that. It appears that his office was asked to do so yesterday, but it did not respond to the questions that were put to it regarding this correspondence. I would like to refer to the international investigation, particularly in the United States, where the matter is being taken extremely seriously. The national crime investigation unit or service in the United Kingdom is also involved in investigating this deal. Given that this involves Irish taxpayers, who would be the ultimate beneficiaries of the sale of these assets, does the Taoiseach not accept that there is an extraordinary contrast between how the Irish authorities are responding to this saga and how the UK authorities and the US criminal investigation authorities are responding to this serious issue? How does the Taoiseach account for the rather light response from the Irish authorities?
