Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
223. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked 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]
View answer274. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance when his Department first learned of the existence of, as distinct from the content of, the Anglo Irish tapes. [34945/13]
View answerI 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 ongoing litigation it would not be appropriate for me to provide a list of the persons recorded as it could prejudice those proceedings.
