asked the Minister for Finance the total cost to date to the State of proceedings in connection with Shanahan's Stamp Auctions and the various cases connected with them.

As I stated in reply to a similar question on 4th April, 1963, the total cost to the State to date is approximately £40,000. No further costs of a significant amount are expected to arise in connection with these proceedings.
Can the Minister state if as a result of these proceedings anyone got 1/- back of the money which they invested?
I have not got that information with me at the moment.
The gentleman concerned is in the Canary Islands on the proceeds.
