348 Deputy Jonathan O’Brien asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he has been briefed by the Garda on any investigations into exchanges of punts for euros at the Central Bank of Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33088/12]
View answerI am informed that An Garda Síochána has not received any recent reports from the Central Bank regarding any suspicion attached to the exchange of money from Punts to Euros.
I also understand that the Central Bank continuously monitors this process to ensure the provision of a secure public service including appropriate procedures to notify the authorities of any suspicious transactions.
