Colm Keaveney

Question:

61. Deputy Colm Keaveney asked the Minister for Finance in view of an article that appeared in The Irish Times on 25 April 2015 which contained a quote (details supplied), and in view of the fact that this would appear to demonstrate a person's (details supplied) involvement in the discussion on Siteserv, if he will request an explanation from a person (details supplied) as to this disagreement, and make such an explanation available to Dáil Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22571/15]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

While this was a matter for the board of IBRC at that time, the minutes of the meeting, which are available on the Department of Finance website show that the person referred to in the question was present during the discussion on Siteserv. There was no representative from the Department of Finance present at the 15 March 2012 board meeting of IBRC which approved the sale of Siteserv.

The sale of Siteserv will be one of the transactions which will fall within the scope of the recently announced Commission of Investigation.
