Question:

158. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the total number of complaints employees of the Central Bank of Ireland have made to the Garda regarding information they have obtained during their course of employment where they suspect a crime may have been committed since 2010 to date; the number of those complaints which related to, or resulted in, subsequent prosecutions being pursued by the DPP; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Finance

I am not privy to complaints made by employees of the Central Bank to the Garda Síochána. Furthermore I have no responsibility in any subsequent follow-up to any such complaints. In this regard, the DPP is entirely independent in carrying out her functions.
