263. To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the allegations made in a national newspaper on Tuesday 9 July by former Irish Life and Permanent Chairman (details supplied), where they state they made a statement to the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement and the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation on the window dressing of Anglo Irish’s end of year books 2008, but that there has been no follow-up on their affidavit; and in addition that they were informed that the Anglo-Irish Life deposits were outside the scope of his investigation [34765/13]

I can inform the Deputy that allegations made in a national newspaper by the person whose details were supplied relate to an investigation currently being led by the Gardaí and it would therefore be inappropriate for me or the Central Bank to provide any information on this matter. The Deputy will be aware that the Terms of Reference for the Nyberg investigation are a matter of public record and are included in the Nyberg report.

264. To ask the Minister for Finance if it was a policy of the Central Bank of Ireland in the years leading up to 2008 and following, to allow banks to make deposit transfers between themselves to address deficiencies in end of year accounts; if this was an overt policy of the Central Bank of Ireland or did the Bank simply tolerate the policy, as has been alleged.

265. To ask the Minister for Finance his views on the statement made by former Irish Life and Permanent chairman (details supplied) that support provided by IL&P to Anglo Irish bank arose solely as a result of a request by the Central Bank of Ireland and Financial Regulator, and that the two had requested IL&P to protect the stability of the Irish financial system.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 264 and 265 together.

As the Deputy will be aware the Gardaí are currently leading an investigation into these matters and it would therefore be inappropriate for me or the Central Bank to provide any information on this matter.
