Alan Shatter
Question:57 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Justice the reason the Garda authorities were unable to actively investigate the collapse of the Taylor Group until six weeks after newspaper reports of the collapse of the group and of the departure of the principal of the group from the State; the alleged obstacles, if any, which hampered a speedier investigation by members of the Garda Fraud Squad into allegedly missing funds following the collapse of the group; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
