I have been informed that it should be noted that the newspaper article in question published details of privileged information and the Bank has not waived the privilege attaching to that information. These matters are the subject of on-going litigation and it is not appropriate for the Minister to make any comment.

IBRC have advised me that it issued proceedings on 27 November 2012 against the company referred to in the question. These proceedings relate to the role of that company as auditors to Anglo Irish Bank Plc. pre-nationalisation. As this matter is now the subject of litigation, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further at this time.
