Shane Ross: That is reasonable, from Ms Feehily's point of view. Is there any way she could give us a written response at some stage as to why no prosecutions were ever taken against any of the Ansbacher offenders?

Shane Ross: Then, more recently, on the same theme, where there was evasion of DIRT tax there was an Oireachtas committee of inquiry. Why was a banker never prosecuted for encouraging clients to evade tax?

Shane Ross: It is still current in terms of what is happening. No banker was ever prosecuted for encouraging clients to evade tax, and yet those clients who evaded the taxation were prosecuted.

Shane Ross: Nevertheless, Ms Feehily sees the problem. It seems the big fish get away and the small guys, who do not fill in their tax returns or who have undoubtedly committed an offence, are prosecuted.
