I am informed that An Garda Síochána has not received any recent reports from the Central Bank regarding any suspicion attached to the exchange of money from Punts to Euros.

I also understand that the Central Bank continuously monitors this process to ensure the provision of a secure public service including appropriate procedures to notify the authorities of any suspicious transactions.
