Under statute the Garda Síochána are the body responsible for criminal investigations in the State. The Department does not have responsibility or insight into the investigations undertaken by the Gardaí or the Central Bank. It would be completely inappropriate for the Department of Finance to act outside of its legal powers and interfere with any investigation that could compromise potential future criminal or civil investigations by the bodies responsible under statute.
