223. To ask the Minister for Finance if he is now aware of which telephone lines were recorded in Anglo Irish Bank; and if he knows, if he will list who the other persons recorded on the tapes are, outside of the three we have heard to date. [34301/13]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 223 and 274 together.

All Banks record phone calls for a variety of reasons in the normal course of business and this was known to the Department. I can confirm that the recordings of 18 staff were provided to the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigations in 2010. Due to on-going litigation it would not be appropriate for me to provide a list of the persons recorded as it could prejudice those proceedings.
