I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the remit of their Investigations and Prosecutions Division's Offshore Assets Group is to investigate the use of offshore accounts to evade or avoid tax and to ensure that any moneys owed, including interest and penalties, are recovered. Payments amounting to €9.46 million were received in 2014 as a result of the Group's work, and the amount received to date in 2015 is €4.64 million. Total payments since the inception of the Group are €1,013.73 million.
