As the Deputy will be aware, Ireland is a very open economy and as such there are no major impediments to Irish corporates or individuals investing across the European Union or to other jurisdictions subject to anti-money laundering regulations. With regard to the Deputy's specific question, it is my understanding that my Department have sought clarification on the question and are awaiting a reply. When the issue has been clarified my Department will answer the question as promptly and as accurately as possible.
