Pearse Doherty

Question:

263. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the allegations made in a national newspaper on Tuesday, 9, July by the 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 Bank’s end of year books for 2008 but that there has been no follow-up on their affidavit; and in addition that they were informed that the Anglo Irish Bank life deposits were outside the scope of the investigation.

Written answers

Minister for Finance

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 Garda 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.
